|Description=It is important for any science to have a clear idea as to what phenomena it ''ought'' to be explaining. This question is ''normative'', as its answers are necessarily ''prescriptions'' of what the scope of scientonomy ''ought'' to be. As such, this question is not to be confused with the descriptive question of the scope of this or that specific scientonomic theory. | |Description=It is important for any science to have a clear idea as to what phenomena it ''ought'' to be explaining.
