Kuhn, for instance, used Theories can be [[Theory Acceptance|accepted]] by a number community as the best currently available description of equally vague words, including ''universally received'',''embraced'', ''acknowledged'', and ''committed'', to describe the status of theories within scientific communitiesworld.Even when they are not so accepted, they can be deemed [[CiteRef::Kuhn Epistemic Stances - Acceptance Use and Pursuit (1970cBarseghyan-2015)|ppinstrumentally useful]] for certain problems. 10-13They can be deemed promising and worthy of [[Theory Pursuit|pursuit]] ''Acceptance'' too has had a plethora .
