|Prehistory=In the historical literature, many different words have been used to describe the attitudes a scientific community can take towards a theory, generally without any attempt to clarify their respective meanings. [[Larry Laudan]] and [[Stephen Wykstra]] were among the first who distinguished between the ''acceptance'' and the ''pursuit'' of a theory.[[CiteRef::Laudan (1977a)|pp. 108-114]] [[CiteRef::Wykstra (1980)|p. 216]] [[Hakob Barseghyan]] has argued that a similar distinction was implicit in the work of [[Imre Lakatos]], although Lakatos did not explicitly draw the distinction.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 33]]
