Kuhn, for example, who is usually cited in support of the revolutionary scientist, says that innovations actually come out of science teams and the history of science shows that very little progress occurs except when there is first a long sustained period of consensus when everybody is more or less on the same page. As he would put it, successful divergent thinking almost always springs from successful convergent thinking. In other words, it takes a lot of discipline to be creative in the sciences.

Greetings dmb,

Sorry, but  I don't even remember you giving an adequate definition of 'relativism,' let alone making a case against it.
