It's a question of degree, of course.

How much of a change of accuracy would suit you?

There was, of course, a physical law of phlogiston at one
time. The science that replaced it was somewhat more
than a refinement.

What you wrote, "But there has never, to my knowledge, been a case when a
physical law was found to be false by new evidence," is still an
absurdity.
