Can you really say that Newton's laws are wrong then? What if there was a certain amount of pride in always wanting to have the most complex measure. How can you say that Newton's laws evolved into Einstein's if Newton's laws are more applicable? Isn't that just a matter of semantics more than some hard and fast formula?
Epistemology/science is an art, I do not think there is any absolute way to command adherence to any theory. A woman carrying a basket in Africa is not going to care about many things that preoccupy western people. But knowledge is central to the human experience. There are many ways to think about the world that yield different results. It is arrogant to assume that your methods are the best ones unless you know that they are.
