Tomorrow's doctrines
"History is often a series of expedients that grow into dogmas - today's pragmatism becoming tomorrow's doctrines..." - Stanley Karnow (1990)
"[Individuals who break through by inventing a new paradigm are] almost always...either very young or very new to the field whose paradigm they change...These are the [men and women] who, being little committed to prior practice to the traditional rules of normal science, are particularly likely to see that those rules no longer define a playable game and to conceive another set that can replace them." - Thomas S Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolution (1962)
