They will say that discourses, fields of study, knowledge domains and such are commonplace notions. But subject them to the actual specifics of your FSK theory and
they will say that it is mostly implausible nonsense.
Who are 'they' that you are referring to?
On what grounds would 'they' reject my proposals and specifics of my FSK?
In the snippet I was responding to, you referred to "Any average intelligent person", so the only reason you would ask now who "they" might be is that this does not include yourself.
I have already shown you via AI, even the specifics of my FSK theory, e.g. the ranking methodology is adopted by those who are diligent and rigorous with their arguments and claims.

I have explained already why your FSK thing is not similar to the usual ways of organising fields of study and so on. Primarily it comes down to your strange belief that all facts must at all times be considered to live inside an FSK and that it is the FSK that makes the thing a fact. This is nothing like how a normal person of average intelligence would consider the fields of History or Semantics to work.
There are Two Senses of 'What is Fact'
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=39587
1. The FSK-ed relative mind-independent fact
2. The philosophical realist absolutely mind-independent fact grounded on an illusion.
Here's the understanding of what is fact by any normal person of average intelligence.
WIKI wrote:A fact is a true datum about one or more aspects of a circumstance.[1] Standard reference works are often used to check facts.
Scientific facts are verified by repeatable careful observation or measurement by experiments or other means. For example,
"This sentence contains words." accurately describes a
linguistic fact, and
"The sun is a star" accurately describes an
astronomical fact. Further,
"Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States" and "Abraham Lincoln was assassinated" both accurately describe
historical facts.
Generally speaking, facts are independent of belief and of knowledge and opinion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fact
As implied above, the historical and linguistic/semantic facts must be confined within their respective a framework and system of knowledge FSK.
Whatever is FSK-ed is contingent upon a collective-of-subjects within consensus thus independent of any individual[s] opinions and belief.
Show me evidence where the Analytic Philosophy's version of 'what is fact' is still popular?

Stop there and you don't sound like a lunatic yet. Get to the bit where the product of any FSK is fact and thus any FSK you construct is a source of fact though and everyone will see you are mad. As that latter is a crucial part of your FSK theory... and is in fact the entire point of it, I choose not overlook it.
You don't have any credibility on this matter. Your above POV is grounded on PR which is ultimately grounded on an illusion.
I long ago told you I had nothing to do with the realism/antirealism thing, leave me out of it, if Pete wants to waste his life debating it with you, perhaps he will return. But for me it's a pseudo-problem. So we're just going to skip all the stuff about that ...
The "I said so" does not work here.
It is not so much realism/antirealism which can go either way, but rather specifically philosophical realism versus philosophical antirealism.
You believed in an absolutely mind-independent fact which is philosophical realism as defined
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_realism
-otherwise, you are into some sort of philosophical antirealism.
Absolutely everybody. Everybody on PN thinks you are mad, every day you launch new threads about this FSK thing, and in it you claim that any and all these FSK things are sources of facts but the world is not a source of facts. That's just sort of silly and you haven't persuaded a single person in the whole world that it isn't, have you? That's why you are so comically grateful to a computer that simulates a belief in it.
You're bad with basic logic in clinging to the ad populum fallacy as valid.
I argued, you have no credibility to critique my position when your 'what is fact' based on philosophical realism which is grounded on an illusion.
So far, you have not demonstrated what you claim as fact is really real?

The ranking system makes your FSK thing what it is, leave it out and you don't look mad anymore, but you don't get to do your gold standard science thing. But that is the point of it, to have the gold standard and the numbers to make it official. Why do you keep pretending they are only a small part of it?
It seem you have conceded to accept my concept of FSKs (earlier condemned as KFC etc.) but reject the ranking system.
It seems you have reading and comprehension problems then. The FSK thing is either trivial and only says the obvious - that we have various discourses for discussing particular sorts of things - or it is batshit nonsense that asserts control over all knowledge and can manufacture actual fact out of nothing but opinion. We don't need it in either case, it is junk.
FSK is not just "we have various discourses for discussing particular sorts of things"
You are so ignorant of the what a 'FSK' really represent.
What is FSK is
grounded on 13.7 years of physical history and 3.5 billion years of organic history where t
hese are a priori conditions that contribute to what is realized as knowledge that is known, described and discussed.
It is by tracing these historical conditions that ground human beings, its reality and knowledge that we can contribute [via
genomics, neurosciences, evolutionary psychology, etc.] to perpetual peace in the future, i.e. we should eliminate or prevent emergence of moral deficient psychopaths of your like in the future [too late now].

Rejecting the ranking system of the FSKs where it is critically needed is rejecting precision, refinement and rigor.
Establishing a gold standard is critical, i.e. to avoid messing with a moving goal posts. Imagine navigating with a moving lighthouse, light source or star.
That's just pointless waffle. A ranking system isn't critically needed at all. Your rubbish is not precise, it is constructed of bullshit numbers that do nothing.
Most importantly, look at the title of the thread. You are most definitely the inventor if this ranking nonsense.
The ranking system is prevalent in advanced knowledge.
I am merely adapting it to the FSKs, which is a sign of intelligence in practice, i.e. to contribute to higher positives for humanity.
If such adaptation is 'an invention' I will take it.

Here are examples where FSKs are used and ranked either implicitly or explicitly:

Nobody needs a score to dismiss a pseudoscience. It either is a working science or not a pseudo one, being 17% as good as a real sciecne isn't a thing. That's just some nonsense you made up.
A score makes it objective and transparent why a certain pseudoscience is dismissed as not credible nor objective, especially where the demarcation is not obvious to hardcore believers of the said pseudoscience, e.g. Flat-Earth Theory, Acupuncture, Feng-Shui, Reincarnation, and so on.
That's complete nonsense. You slide in a claim of objectivity that you know is absurd. If it's a pseudoscience then that is all we need to know that it is not credible, putting a number on it is like putting a hat on hat. If people believe in it still, then they don't believe in your fraudulent numbers for some reason - bizarrely that would likely be because they can spot it is itself completely pseudoscientific.
Repeat:

It is very stupid of you to reject what is more transparent rigorous and objective.

You have forgotten that you were trying to show this is all normal and a descriptive account of how things work in the usual order of things without making any changes? There is nothing built into our handling of fact that supports this urgency you are assigning to comparing different fields and having scorecards in support of that.
The above is an example and analogy which principles are the same with my ranking of FSKs.
Repeat the above:
A score makes it objective and transparent why a certain pseudoscience is dismissed as not credible nor objective, especially where the demarcation is not obvious to hardcore believers of the said pseudoscience, e.g. Flat-Earth Theory, Acupuncture, Feng-Shui, Reincarnation, and so on.
No, the scores are autistic.
I am not autistic, I don't mind if I am professionally diagnosed as such.
If mild autism on a wide spectrum, it is not as serious as a your moral deficient psychopath who lack empathy.
Again: A ranking scoring system makes it objective and transparent.
Suggest you do research on 'ranking scoring system'.
