This applies to both general theories and singular propositions describing the results of experiments and observations. The theory rejection theorem suggests that when these erroneously accepted theories become rejected they are still replaced by some other theory or theories. The question is: what are these erroneously accepted theories replaced by? For example, astronomical databases trivially reject inaccurate data points from their databases. Are these data points replaced by anything? More generally, how are instances of scientific error handled in science?|Parent Topic=Mechanism of Theory Rejection|Authors List=Maxim Mirkin, Sinan Karamehmetoglu,
