Thomas Kuhn revisited; for Matt especially (Introduction)

For my real reply, I must ask you, how does science work if it doesn't work by consensus?

Don't technical experts need to agree that a theory is an answer, for it to be an accepted theory? For example, isn't it true that more than one doctor must agree that strep is caused by bacteria in order for all doctors to claim that strep is caused by bacteria? Or is Jenny McCarthy right that thimerosol causes Autism?

Consensus leads to directions for advancing research, but lock-step consensus is what I object to, limiting the spread of directions.
