|Formulation Text=Epistemic agent A is said to be delegating authority over question ''x'' to epistemic agent B ''iff'' (1) agent A accepts that agent B is an expert on question ''x'' and (2) agent A will accept a theory answering question ''x'' if agent B says so.

|Description=The definition tweaks the [[Authority Delegation (Overgaard-Loiselle-2016)|original definition]] of the term by [[Nicholas Overgaard|Overgaard]] and [[Mirka Loiselle|Loiselle]] to ensure that the relationship of authority delegation can obtain between [[Epistemic Agent|epistemic agents]] of all types. It also substitutes [[Question|''question'']] for ''topic'', as the former is the proper scientonomic term that should be used.
