If every rule has an exception, including the rule that there’s an exception to every rule, are there rules without exceptions?

The statement "Every rule has an exception" isn't a rule itself, but a natural law. Laws have no exceptions, thus it stands as truth.

Natural law…is a theory that posits the existence of a law whose content is set by nature and that therefore has validity everywhere.
