I agree that we should accept the law of question acceptance. For in order to practically accept, pursue, or employ theories answering questions, we must be able to demarcate those questions which are acceptable. For purposes of mapping belief systems, not only do we need to be able to accept questions without incurring combinatorially explosive/restrictive issues of presupposition, but we need a law of question acceptance which pragmatically restricts the set of all possibly acceptable questions to those which a finite epistemic agent might actually be able to answer. The proposed definition covers both these bases. It must be noted that the mechanisms of axiom denotation/acceptance in scientonomy have yet to be explicitly defined. However, the notion of question acceptance remains central to the mapping of epistemic elements within belief systems -- keeping in line with its philosophical meaning. Thus, while I maintain that the law of question acceptance should be accepted, it remains unclear whether the law of question acceptance should be accepted as a new scientonomic axiom, per se.
