|Verdict Rationale=It was agreed that the "modification provides a great addition to the current body of scientonomic knowledge"<sup>[[Modification_talk: Sciento-2018-0018#comment-115|c1]]</sup> as the law offers "a dynamic account of compatibility"<sup>[[Modification_talk: Sciento-2018-0018#comment-181|c2]]</sup> and "allows for a diachronic study of compatibility".<sup>[[Modification_talk: Sciento-2018-0018#comment-178|c3]]</sup> The law was praised for its non-tautological nature, since it "forbids a number of logically conceivable scenarios".<sup>[[Modification_talk: Sciento-2018-0018#comment-115|c4]]</sup> While finding the law acceptable, one of the commentators raised an important question for future scientonomic research: do we even need a separate law of compatibility? Specifically they asked: "Is assessment for compatibility with other elements of the mosaic really conceptually distinct from the process of assessment for theory acceptance, which is already covered by other scientonomic laws?"<sup>[[Modification_talk: Sciento-2018-0018#comment-181|c5]]</sup> On this view, "the issue of the conceptual separability of theory compatibility and theory acceptance, and thus the need for two parallel laws, remains an open question that warrants further investigation".<sup>[[Modification_talk: Sciento-2018-0018#comment-181|c6]]</sup>
