They did not consider their descriptions of physical regularities physical to be convenient fictions.-and just two years earlier, they'd discovered oxygen. It seemed intuitively obvious that phlogiston was the cause of fire, beforehand. Demons, ghosts, imps, sprites, and fairies..before that.
Nobody today regards natural laws as convenient fictions either, though they may be - just as the founders ideas about natural law and natures god have shown themselves to be.
