This modification assumes that scientificity is a universal epistemic stance. As I indicated in my commentary on modification 2018-0013, I don't think we have sufficient evidence to think that scientificity is a universal stance. part of the complication is that we are not offered any definition of scientificity, so it is hard to tell whether that stance obtains only for some contemporary communities or whether it is universal. Therefore, changing the definition of theory acceptance at this stage would be premature. My position is that this modification should not be accepted.

I think that the discussion of this modifications should be postponed until we have a verdict on modification 2018-0013. I believe that to recommend that it should not be accepted is a little hasty. Rather, the question of whether it should be accepted arises only after the status of modification 2018-0013 is resolved. Consequently, my recommendation is to withhold judgment at this stage.
