Education and dissemination of knowledge must assume a form which allows each student to absorb whatever develops his own genius, lest he become frustrated. The same outlook applies to the genius of the peoples as a whole.”

And paradigms do not attract the loyalty of such minds unless they 'work'.

Just as a good workman never blames his tools, so the diligent student never blames his paradigm”
