Kuhn is almost always referred to as a philosopher because he left physics to be a "philosopher of science".
In a nutshell I see an article about a scientist who worships a philosopher, believes she's the leader of the third major revolution in understanding human illness, and has a theory that's plausible yet difficult to test. Doesn't make the idea wrong, but these are not good signs.
In her defense she's published a few times on the subject* still something about the article's rubbing me the wrong way.
