What? In other words, because it FEELS right? What's the rationale that
common sense provides for this claim? Or do you not even ask common sense
to provide the rationale?

Really? So they didn't apply before they were discovered? Energy wasn't
conserved before someone conceived of conservation of momentum? So laws of
physics can't explain anything before human civilization because no human
brain held them? Really???
