Barseghyan notes, when introducing '''the theory rejection theorem''' in [[Barseghyan (2015)]], "it is worth appreciating that no theory rejection (and no theory change in general) can take place in a genuinely dogmatic community. Namely, theory change is impossible in cases where a currently accepted theory is considered as revealing the final and absolute truth".[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 165]]

Implicit in the theorem is the idea that each theory is assessed on an "individual basis by its compatibility with the propositions of the newly accepted theory".[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 168]] If it turns out that a previously accepted theory is compatible with the newly accepted theory, it remain in the agent's mosaic.
