two differing schools of thought regarding the origin and nature of numerical digits in mathematics
Is math invented or discovered? OR Are numbers invented or discovered?
the method used by artists in the process of a particular artwork's creation
One is the study of the past, the other is the study of how the past is being studied, written and analyzed
What is the difference between history and historiography?

an instance when the existing underlying principles or belief systems change, such that now there is a new way of examining things. also Thomas Kuhn's Theory.
What is a paradigm shift?

What is scientific realism?

What is scientific misconduct? Bonus 100 points if you can give another example of this.
the concept of knowing how to do something, in contrast to knowing something from experience
What is the difference between skills-based and experiential knowledge? / How can we distinguish between procedural and experiential knowledge?
key traits distinguishing these findings from other AOKs, with the common assumption that evidence based on experimentation makes conclusions drawn valid, with replicability.
What makes something scientific? OR What makes something fall under the scope of the natural sciences?
