they can’t determine which thief stole the diamond from the laws of physics alone
“thieves 1, 2, and 4 were all observed by credible sources to be in a jail at the other side of the city at the time the diamond went missing, and the laws of physics say that none of them can have been in two places at once” has a similar appeal-to-physics shape to it ;)
Or even worse is when you get into less clear science, like biological research that you aren’t certain of. Then you get uncertainty on multiple levels.
