And our earlier considerations enable us to trace this important historical condition of its validity to its being a special case of a delayed action law. There are other instructive cases of context-dependence of laws of physics that reveal further the poverty of Habermas's supposed paradigmatic example of "'this stone' is considered, for example, as 'mass'" (1971: 265).
