You're proving too much. (Or making too many assumptions). I think
there's a good principle in logic (is it from the Roman law?) that he
who proves too much proves nothing. It can also be restated as a
principle of complimentarity, according to which new theories are
supposed to be in accordance with the old ones to some sufficient
extent. It doesn't actually matter what you say, whether it's wrong or
right, what matters is just whether a new conjecture can be
interpreted as an additional, constructive correction to any former
theories.

What about it?

It is about what you call "principle of complimentarity". You can have
a look at its theses athttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions

I know who Kuhn is. I just thought you were going to have any special
opinion about it.

Sorry, sometimes I am kinda smart-ass. I had the suspicion that in
Russia (you are from there, aren't you?) he might not be as well known
as in the rest of the world, but I see that it was a wrong
supposition. Feyerabend is another interesting thinker, don't you
think so?

A quote from _Against Method_: "Proliferation of theories is
beneficial for science, while uniformity impairs its critical power.
Uniformity also endangers the free development of the individual."

Natalie Sanders obviously belong to those "scientists" who are
endangering and shackling the free development of the mind of their
students.

It means that neither Sanders nor any other teacher has the exclusive
right (doesn't matter if it was "approved" by his PhD or school
authorities) to banish opinions different from the current
(established) doctrine.

Of course, I am not talking here about some jesting ideas that might
appear among students, esspecially if they have a fanny (beg your
pardon - funny) teacher as Natalie is.
