Changes

|Description=According to this definition of the term, ''employed method'' is nothing but the actual expectations of a certain community at a certain time. This is in tune with the actual scienotnomic scientonomic usage of the term. It is safe to say that this definition is tacitly used throughout Barseghyan's [[Barseghyan (2015)|''The Laws of Scientific Change'']]. For instance, when he says that the method of intuition schooled by experience was employed by the community of Aristotelian-Medieval natural philosophers, he actually means that this community expected new theories to be intuitively true.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 143-145]][[CiteRef::Patton, Overgaard, and Barseghyan (2017)|p. 35]] When he says that the double-blind trial method is currently employed in drug testing, he means that "the community expects new drugs to be tested in double-blind trials".[[CiteRef::Patton, Overgaard, and Barseghyan (2017)|p. 35]][[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 134-142]] Originally, this tacit definition of employed method has been repeatedly conflated with [[Employed Method (Barseghyan-2015)|the official definition of the term]] given on page 54 of ''The Laws of Scientific Change''.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 54,144,145]] However, a community’s expectations were not mentioned in Barseghyan's [[Employed Method (Barseghyan-2015)|original definition]] of employed method.
