The distributist has a good video on the idea of the exception that proves the rule. The idea being that, while this makes no sense in the natural sciences, in the social sciences organic rules tend to have exceptions because they are imperfect representations of the relationships that they are modeling. Where ideas that are post hoc justified with no true scottsman logic and other excuse making techniques tend not to have exceptions because they are non falsifiable.
