Does adopting the wrong conceptual reference frame makes formation of a general law impossible?

01 January 1970 1 9K Report

For example, Ptolemy's geocentric assumption forced him to use ad hoc epicycles, and precluded a general law.

Are there any case where the statement, Adopting the wrong conceptual reference frame makes formation of a general law impossible, is wrong?

Kaushal Kishore Mishra

Adopting the wrong conceptual reference frame does not always make law formation “impossible,” but it makes the discovery of true, generalizable, and universal laws either extremely difficult or unattainable. At best, one gets provisional or context-specific laws that collapse when the frame is changed.
