|Question=Ought a scientonomic theory explain only changes to explicit elements of the mosaic or must it also explain changes in implicit elements that are not openly stated?
|Topic Type=Normative
|Description=In the context of theory appraisal, the term 'method' had been given two different meanings, one having to do with explicitly professed rules of theory assessment as featured in the written works of scientists, the other having to do with implicit rules actually employed in theory assessment. [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 52]] Should a scientonomic theory distinguish between the two, and if so, how should it treat them?
|Parent Topic=Scope of Scientonomy
