He argued that:
the reception of a new paradigm often necessitates a
redefinition of the corresponding science
Old problems are relegated to other sciences or declared unscientific.
Problems previously nonexistent or trivial may, with a new paradigm, become
the very archetypes of significant scientific achievement.
The case for cumulative development of science's
problems and standards is even harder to make than
the case for the cumulative development of
paradigms/theories.
