|Verdict=OpenAccepted|Date Assessed Year=2018|Date Assessed Month=February|Date Assessed Day=2
|Date Assessed Approximate=No
|Verdict Rationale=Following a period of discussion, it was finally agreed that "the current definitions of authority delegation, mutual authority delegation, and one-sided authority delegation, despite their problems, are currently the best available such definitions".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0004#comment-69|c1]]</sup>
It was noted that these definitions don't take into the account the possibility of ''conditional'' authority delegation, where community ''A'' is prepared to accept the findings of another community on a certain topic only if these findings also satisfy some additional criteria imposed by community ''A''. It was argued that there might be cases where a community's reliance on the findings of another community might be "conditional in ways that the current authority delegation definition is too restrictive to encompass".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0004#comment-37|c2]]</sup> The idea of conditional delegation was found pursuit-worhty.<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0004#comment-68|c3]]</sup> It was also stressed that these definitions are only the first step towards a deeper understanding of the mechanism of authority delegation. Scientonomists were advised to pursue the idea of deducing "theorems concerning theory acceptance and method employment in delegating mosaics".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0004#comment-24|c4]]</sup>
