Y los paradigmas no atraen la lealtad de esas mentes a menos que "funcionen". Una de las primeras cosas que aprende un estudiante de posgrado es que si existe una discrepancia entre el paradigma y lo que ha descubierto, la suposición automática es que el paradigma tiene razón y el estudiante está equivocado. Al igual que un buen trabajador nunca culpa a sus herramientas, el estudiante diligente nunca culpa a su paradigma.
