    I know how Popper is responsible for these brainworms - but how is Kuhn implicated?

      This guy is, somehow, a social epistemologist, and if you read between the lines he's using the standard Kuhn/Popper synthesis everyone gets taught is "real" science if you don't take a HPoS course.

      Kuhn's experimental work is fine, but his framework of science as a series of Paradigms is undialectical and doesn't really grasp the complexity of the contradictions and how they are resolved in science-as-social-activity.
