The modification was suggested to Scientonomy community by Mirka Loiselle on 19 May 2017.1 The modification was accepted on 23 October 2018.
Preamble
TODO: Sinan, please add the preamble
Modification
Theories To Accept
- Multiple Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017): Community A is said to engage in a relationship of multiple authority delegation over topic x iff community A delegates authority over topic x to more than one community.
- Singular Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017): Community A is said to engage in a relationship of singular authority delegation over topic x iff community A delegates authority over topic x to exactly one community.
- Non-Hierarchical Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017): A sub-type of multiple authority delegation where different communities are delegated the same degree of authority over topic x.
- Hierarchical Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017): A sub-type of multiple authority delegation where different communities are delegated different degrees of authority over topic x.
- Singular Authority Delegation Is a Subtype of Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017): Singular Authority Delegation is a subtype of Authority Delegation, i.e. authority delegation is a supertype of singular authority delegation.
- Multiple Authority Delegation Is a Subtype of Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017): Multiple Authority Delegation is a subtype of Authority Delegation, i.e. authority delegation is a supertype of multiple authority delegation.
- Hierarchical Authority Delegation Exists: There is such a thing as hierarchical authority delegation.
- Hierarchical Authority Delegation Is a Subtype of Multiple Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017): Hierarchical Authority Delegation is a subtype of Multiple Authority Delegation, i.e. multiple authority delegation is a supertype of hierarchical authority delegation.
- Non-Hierarchical Authority Delegation Is a Subtype of Multiple Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017): Non-Hierarchical Authority Delegation is a subtype of Multiple Authority Delegation, i.e. multiple authority delegation is a supertype of non-hierarchical authority delegation.
- Singular Authority Delegation Exists: There is such a thing as singular authority delegation.
- Multiple Authority Delegation Exists: There is such a thing as multiple authority delegation.
- Non-Hierarchical Authority Delegation Exists: There is such a thing as non-hierarchical authority delegation.

Verdict
The modification was accepted on 23 October 2018. While the notions of singular and multiple authority delegation didn't cause much controversy, the notions of hierarchical and non-hierarchical authority delegation gave rise to notable disagreement among scientonomists. As a result, the modification was in discussion for about a year and a half.c1 Eventually, a consensus emerged mostly as a result of offline (in-person) discussion meetings. It was agreed that "for decisions that are not rote and routine, it seems highly unlikely that a pre-established hierarchy of authority delegation does or could exist, nor could a pre-established belief that all authorities should be given equal weight".c2 However, it was also agreed that Loiselle's study "have identified at least one aspect of hierarchical authority delegation in epistemic communities",c3 for "there seem to be instances where some experts occupy privileged positions in the eyes of those delegating authority" and that "alone is sufficient to suggest that hierarchies of authority delegation exists, regardless of of how transient or fixed they might be".c4
