6Oe(Prejudice)-h

Although normal science is a pursuit not directed to novelties and tending at first to suppress them in favor of its already 6Oe=established objectives and the controlled PREJUDICE, it is nonetheless very effective in causing them to arise. Why? An initial paradigm accounts quite successfully for most of the observations and experiments readily accessible to that science's practitioners. Research results in the construction of elaborate equipment, development of an esoteric and shared vocabulary, refinement of concepts that increasingly lessens their resemblance to their usual common-sense prototypes. This professionalization leads to immense restriction of the scientist's vision, rigid science, resistance to paradigm change, and a detail of information and precision of the observation-theory match that can be achieved in no other way. New and refined methods and instruments result in greater precision and understanding of the paradigm . Only when researchers know with precision what to expect from an experiment can they recognize that something has gone wrong in terms of the h=environment they want to rule through science#2's control of objects, command of people and communicating in mutual admiration societies so that the game can go on.
