---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sciento-2018-0017 | Scientonomy | 28 December 2018 | Accept the new definition of compatibility criteria as criteria for determining whether two elements are compatible or incompatible. | Accepted | The discussions concerning this modification took place mostly online, but primarily outside of this encyclopedia. There is a communal agreement that the modification is to be accepted as it fixes "an obvious drawback of [Barseghyan's] original definition".c1 Since "compatibility is a stance that can be taken towards methods, theories, and questions alike"c2 it is agreed that we need a definition that is applicable to all epistemic elements, not merely theories. It was also noted that the new definition has the advantage of being "neutral to the the addition of new epistemic elements to the scientonomic ontology".c3 | 11 October 2020 |
