The Juhem Quinn Thesis

We have no way of predicting whether it will eventually be explained merely by correcting a minor parochial assumption, or by revolutionizing entire sciences. We can know only after we have seen it in the light of a new explanation. In the meantime, we have no option but to see the world through our best explanations, which include our existing misconceptions. And that biases our intuition. Among other things, it inhibits us conceiving of significant changes.
