A paradigm is a powerful theoretical and methodological framework which defines the working lives of thousands of intelligent and disciplined minds. And paradigms do not attract the loyalty of such minds unless they 'work'.

Just as a good workman never blames his tools, so the diligent student never blames his paradigm
