I also found it interesting how much their work was later misinterpreted, e.g. Kuhn became frustrated with the use of ‘paradigm’ as a target rather than an observation.

Many scientists (& clinicians) are I think borderline unreconstructed logical positivists. Lack knowledge history & philosophy real shame. See same in other direction; glaring lack of basic science knowledge i.e lost track how often @lrb.co.uk make basic errors in if something is virus or bacteria.
Indeed. My favourite was a letter page of @lrb.co.uk full of letters from readers about some error that had been made in discussing Shakespeare. On same page MRSA was referred to several times as a virus. No letters on this subject appeared.
