Kuhn argues that there is no debate about the fundamentals when a scientist is engaged in “normal science.” Popper conceded that this sometimes happens in reality, but contended that scientists ought to be open-minded about all issues. Do you agree with Popper?

Kuhn argues that there is no debate about the fundamentals when a scientist is engaged in “normal science.” Popper conceded that this sometimes happens in reality, but contended that scientists ought to be open-minded about all issues. Do you agree with Popper? Or do you think that it is OK for scientists to abandon debate about the basics so they can move onto other things?
