Good point. What we call the "laws of nature" are our description, they are not prescriptive. If something happens, then obviously it can happen. If we didn't already have a "law" that accounts for it, then we are missing laws or our models are wrong/incomplete.

I'd much prefer people say "unexplained" than "supernatural" as the latter doesn't add anything useful, and suggests unfounded properties. What is and isn't "nature" is ultimately arbitrary.
Feel free to send me a private message.
