|Preamble=TODO: Sinan, please add the preamble
|To Accept=Singular Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017), Multiple Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017), Hierarchical Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017), Non-Hierarchical Authority Delegation (Loiselle-2017),
|Verdict=OpenAccepted|Date Assessed Year=2018|Date Assessed Month=October|Date Assessed Day=23
|Date Assessed Approximate=No
|Verdict Rationale=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.<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2017-0007#comment-90|c1]]</sup> 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".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2017-0007#comment-60|c2]]</sup> However, it was also agreed that Loiselle's study "have identified at least one aspect of hierarchical authority delegation in epistemic communities",<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2017-0007#comment-62|c3]]</sup> 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".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2017-0007#comment-90|c4]]</sup>
