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.
