I would argue that the argumentative equivalent of that is just saying QED.
And yes, it takes more than one observation, but all it takes is a repeatable phenomenon that contradicts a theoyr and the theory's gone, out the window, bye-bye.
As to matter: uh..... that's not actually what the conservation of matter and energy says, to the best of my knowledge. Relativity allows that matter isn't anything except for jellied energy, and matter is destroyed and converted into energy all the time. It's the sum total mass + energy that never changes, and there has never been a point in history where that sum total has ever changed, ever. Ever. Not even the Big Bang, because everything was there to start with.

Either way, it's unnecessary.
That's what I said; enough observations will unseat the idea.
My scenario with Rath was hypothetical; I was just proposing a situation in which two observations contradicted. We're discussing the possibility of a supernatural answer.

Matter is created all the time through quantum flukes all throughout the universe. Like I said: that's not what the law of conservation of mass and energy says. Mass can be created, but it is created from energy. This actually happens a lot.
