Yup. And in his model, once the outsiders get into power, they get just as invested in their entrenched paradigm as the previous generation was about theirs. *grin* In your defense, Kuhn himself had issues with people applying his model -- which was about *scientific paradigms* -- to other fields, especially humanities. He said that in the humanities, people are used to a multiplicity of paradigms and schools of thought, which is simply not true in the sciences. (Once the humours were discredited as a source of illness, you can't go back to humours, and such ideas can't coexist with the new paradigm.) Therefore, it could be argued that Kuhn would say "This model doesn't apply to conrunning, duh."
