Systematic and controlled controlling for bias and other variables, this is much easier to do in labs than in real life settings. Critical means we always think of all possible options.

Thomas kuhn academics practice within communities and share methodological approaches. People often follow the same ideas of people who they are trained by, groups of people share the same values and sometimes the practices.

Paradigms often happen simultaneously but often one goes away.
