Great question! At the time of this glitch, Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions had not yet been published (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Re...). But even current researchers have not fully adapted to Kuhn's lessons. For example, last I saw, you couldn't pick up an intro text on the sociology of science and read a clear explanation of what academic, funding, and social structures allow scientists to be open minded and what structures prevent that. We don't really know. We haven't yet fully answered your question.
