The following topics/questions are descriptive, i.e. answers to these questions are descriptive theories (e.g. How do theories become accepted? or Are there unchangeable scientific methods?).
If you want to add a new descriptive question, locate the term to which the topic question concerns (the subject of the question) and add it there.
