Well, evasive physical law follows from certain theologies just as readily as evasive cultural norms or relationship rules follow from certain sociologies and psychologies; it needn’t be post-hoc reasoning. Of course, whether those theologies, or any theologies, have a referent in the first place is a different question.
Evasive physical law follows naturally from some theologies, it’s merely been a post-hoc rationalization for the theologies that I’ve seen people trying to spread. For instance, either of “We have an ethical theory under which God needs to hide” and “We claim to have records of many instances in which God avoided hiding” could be a weak but positive argument by itself, but the (common) combination is actually negative evidence.
