What is the mechanism of question rejection? How do questions become rejected by epistemic agents?

Question rejection is an integral part of question dynamics. As some questions become accepted, others become rejected by epistemic agents. Thus, it is important to unearth the underlying dynamics of question rejection.

In the scientonomic context, this question was first formulated by Hakob Barseghyan and Nichole Levesley in 2021. The question is currently accepted as a legitimate topic for discussion by Scientonomy community.
