The problem with BE in the Kuhnian sense is that it's still pre-paradigmatic. BE is great at lobbing bombs at rationalist economics and pointing out all the flaws but it's yet to offer a compelling, coherent framework for which positive results can be derived.
Kuhn states in the Structure of Scientific Revolutions that paradigm shifts do not occur simply when people are aware of how broken the old system, so no amount of poking holes will cause the BE revolution. Instead, BE needs to offer an alternative paradigm which useful work can be done.
