I've read Kuhn, his observations don't apply here. Kuhn's great criticism is in how a grand idea appears and then creates a new paradigm that is filled by research within the paradigm, - Sorry I was implying the other aspect of Kuhn, overturning an existing paradigm. The fight to get rid of a paradigm. I saw that when I was practicing. The GI ulcer problem was thought to be excess gastic acid. The original work on Helicobacter pyelori took 15-20 years for the US GI community to accept. I tried it on hard-to-treat patients when it first appeared and it worked beautifully. Be skeptical of all you are taught and think for yourself, is my personal rule, and you appear to be doing that.
