I would believe such.
In the past they have been discussions of what a fact is, what a hypothesis is, what a theory is, and what a law is (one topic is
Some basics: Theory and Law.
As I recall, a law was described as a mathematical description, not an explanation of why.
Newton's law describes the attraction between two objects as a function of their masses and the distance between them. It does NOT explain why there is an attraction between the two objects.
