|Description=Barseghyan notes that, "when a mosaic split is a result of the acceptance of two new theories, it may or may not be a result of inconclusiveness".[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 209]]

"Thus," he concludes, "if we are to detect any instances of inconclusive theory assessment, we must refer to the case of a mosaic split that takes place with only one new theory becoming accepted by one part of the community with the other part sticking to the old theory. This scenario is covered by the possible mosaic split theorem. We can conclude that when a mosaic split takes place with only one new theory involved, this can only indicate that the outcome of the assessment of that theory was inconclusive."[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 209-210]]
