|Description=When a method is replaced, what happens to the theories that became accepted due to it? What does a community do with these theories? Do they remain accepted? Are they assessed by another method?
After the replacement of an old method with a new one, theories that became accepted under the rejected method may suffer a status displacement. Scientonomy currently recognizes three status categories for theories, having to do with [[Theory Pursuit|pursuit]], [[Theory Use|use]], and [[Theory Acceptance|acceptance]]. How do such theories relate to these categories? Do we need to formulate a new category to encompass them? For example, when a new method of drug acceptance is employed in the pharmaceutical community, we do not abstain from using old medicines before they are tested to comply with this new method? . Such questions require further investigation.
