I could kinda argue this, because the laws for age are built on data and numbers too. Maybe not scientific in the way we think of hard data, but definitely based on studies within the realm of science, like psychology, human development, etc.
Regardless, one could probably come up with countless other examples of grey, arbitrary laws that need to be followed.
