Hi Brett,

You also need to read more carefully.  I wrote that Kuhn was not a scientist when he is writing about what science is.  When he does that, he leaves the realm of science and becomes a philosopher.  When he creates controlled experiments to determine what matter, energy, motion, and force are, then he is a scientist.
