True, that is the Ideal, but in practice science is almost always about consensus, with change being gradual as young turks with little investment in the Accepted Truth publish papers that oppose it, and older men in established positions defend the theories that their eminence is based on. Oh, you get young drones who go along with the orthodoxy, and old mavericks the attack it, but in general shifts in the Orthodoxy happen as the old men whose careers are based on it retire or die. <br />C.
