|Question=What is the relationship between the process of theory acceptance and that of theory pursuit?
|Topic Type=Descriptive
|Description=Many [[Theory Acceptance|accepted theories]] were 'in the running' (i.e. [[Theory Pursuit|''pursued'']]) for a time before they became accepted. What is the relationship between the pursuit of a theory and its future acceptance or unacceptance. If there is a correlation between the pursuit of a theory and its future acceptance or unacceptance, what is the nature of this correlation?
This question is to be understood as related to, but distinct from [[Pursuit as Acceptance]], which instead asks whether ''pursuit'', as an epistemic stance, can be reduced to or expressed through ''acceptance''.
