You just pointed it out. The difference between "mind" and "mindless". If a human is guessing, there are different techniques for determining things thought up by another human than things not thought up at all.
(caveat: anthropic argument)
So it's not really about the laws themselves (being "mindless" or "mind") as it's the context in which the guessing/researching is done. Guessing a a natural law known by a person in front of you is different than discovering it anew by yourself.
