, 20:41, 11 February 2020no edit summary
|To Accept=Technological Knowledge as Part of Mosaic (Mirkin-2018),
|Automatic=No
|Verdict=OpenAccepted|Date Assessed Year=2020|Date Assessed Month=February|Date Assessed Day=11
|Date Assessed Approximate=No
|Verdict Rationale=After a series of mostly off-line discussions, it has been agreed that the modification is to be accepted. It was agreed that "Mirkin's discussion of potential counterarguments [are] convincing".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2018-0012#comment-91|c1]]</sup> The consensus is that "Mirkin presents arguments that technological knowledge, like scientific knowledge, can be accepted and not just used, and argues that there are no good prior reasons to suppose that technological knowledge would not be explicable using established scientonomic laws or patterns of change".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2018-0012#comment-102|c2]]</sup> There seem to be "no ''prima facie'' reasons why changes in technological knowledge should not obey the same patterns of scientific change",<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2018-0012#comment-116|c3]]</sup> especially given that fact that "there is considerable overlap between science and technology, as when an instrument is used to acquire scientific data, and the trustworthiness of this data must be assessed".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2018-0012#comment-102|c4]]</sup>
