Talk:2857: Rebuttals
Ok, so...
- "...new evidence" (yes, possibly we can start with "...evidence", but let's start with the first contrarianism).
- "...inconvenient..." (so there's something we're saying is wrong with that new evidence?)
- "...led researchers to ignore..." (maybe could fold in with the inconvenience, but arguably ignoring is a 'third way' step in sidelining it, not even disagreeing)
- "...the prevailing consensus..." (another layer of implied position-taking where there is something to disagree with)
- "...the backlash against..." (to which others firmly took up the contrary)
- "It's become conventional wisdom that..." (and this is a counter-contrary perspective)
- "However..." ("...and I, for one, think that they're wrong about the whole thing!")
...well, by a very quick and dirty deconstruction. But, then again, I fully expect to be shown wrong in my delayering! 162.158.74.25 00:31, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
I impressed myself by correctly remembering that the author of "Structure of Scientific Revolution" was Thomas Kuhn. It was assigned reading in a philosophy of science class I took over 40 years ago, but I haven't had to think about it much since then. Barmar (talk) 00:43, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
