The only difference between the Law of Fives and scientific theories is that 
scientific theories have "excess explanatory power" -that is, they can predict 
stuff not inherent in the formulation of the theory.

The point of the book, _Not Even Wrong_ is basically that superstring theories 
ARE exercises in the Law of Fives: they can't be used to predict testable 
phenomena.
