|Modification=Define ''theory'' as "a set of propositions" and include normative and descriptive propositions as subcategories of theories with methodology as a subcategory of normative theory. Consequently, modify the definition of ''theory acceptance'' to make it possible for both descriptive and normative theories to be accepted.
|To Accept=Theory (Sebastien-2016), Descriptive Theory (Sebastien-2016), Normative Theory (Sebastien-2016), Methodology (Sebastien-2016), Theory Acceptance (Sebastien-2016),
|To Reject=Theory (Barseghyan-2015), Methodology (Barseghyan-2015), Theory Acceptance (Barseghyan-2015),

|Verdict Rationale=Since this modification consisted of two interrelated but essentially distinct suggestions - a taxonomical one definitional and an one ontological - it was decided by the community to divide it into two modifications so that the gist of the proposed suggestions is properly articulated. In particular, it was agreed that there are two modifications in ""the heart of this single modification - one ontological, the other definitional".<sup>[[http://www.scientowiki.com/Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0002#comment-16|c1]]</sup> It was also agreed that the current formulation "the currently proposed modification is exclusively definitional, and does not give the community an opportunity to appreciate (and, well, accept) the ontological changes that come along with it".<sup>[[http://www.scientowiki.com/Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0002#comment-16|c2]]</sup> Consequently, it was decided to divide this modification into two modifications - one [[Modification:Sciento-2017-0001|''taxonomicaldefinitional'']] and one [[Modification:Sciento-2017-0002|''ontological'']].<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0002#comment-24|c3]]</sup>
