Changes

|Question=Is it conceivable that, in light of following the rejection of a method, the that any theories which satisfied its requirements also would become rejected, seeing as how the reasons for belief in them no longer hold (in the eyes of the community)?

|Description=What When a method is replaced, what happens to the theories immediately after that became accepted due to it? What does a method is replacedcommunity do with these theories? Before Do they are remain accepted in virtue of ? Are they assessed by another method, what do we do with those theories?

Immediately after After the replacement of an old method with a methodnew one, theories which are not determined to be (in)compatible with that became accepted under the rejected method may suffer a status displacement. These Scientonomy currently recognizes three status categories for theories , having to do not share any of the three possible statuses with [[Theory Pursuit|pursuit]], [[Theory Use|use]], and [[Theory Acceptance|acceptance]]. How do such theories relate to these categories? Do we have currently outlined in scientonomy. need to formulate a new category to encompass them? For example, when a new method of drug acceptance is employed in the pharmaceutical community, we do not abstain from old medicines before they are tested to comply with this new method; something is left to be desired here? Such questions require further investigation.
