“The history of science suggests that theory change often requires a series of empirical anomalies, which collectively appear to be better explained by an alternate theory (T.Kuhn, 1962;Thagard, 1992).”
From The role of anomalous data in knowledge acquisition: A theoretical framework and implications for science instruction. (1993) · cites this paper as Thagard, 1992
In the citing paper
“He (Thagard, 1992) concludes that “for most revolutions, the explanatory breadth of the new theory--how much it explains--is the largest contributor to explanatory coherence” (p.248).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
