Dear Friends,
It is not acceptable to repeat mistakes committed in the dark ages even in 21st century. Isn’t it a failure of the system, if such mistakes were committed with impunity? Many great researchers such as Giordano Bruno and Galileo were hated, humiliated, prosecuted, imprisoned or even killed, when they tried to expose flawed 2300-year-old basic presumption (the earth is at the center) in the very foundation of then dominant paradigm (known as geocentric paradigm).
The pre-paradigmatic foundation for the dominant paradigm existed in 16th century was created more than 1800 years ago, which comprised of unproven basic 2300-year-old presumption such as “the Earth is static at the center”. It is a basic presumption, since large chunks of know lodge, observations or evidence in the mankind’s BoK (Body of Knowledge) until 16th century had been acquired and accumulated by relying on the unproven flawed presumption.
Is it acceptable to hate, denounce or persecute anyone for tiring to expose such unproven flawed presumptions in the pre-paradigmatic foundation of any exiting dominant paradigm for any scientific or technological discipline that is playing vital role and widely used in 21st century? Is it acceptable, the research community acts or behaves no differently that the researchers, who tried every thing in their power to suppress and sabotage the efforts of anyone trying to expose such flawed unproven basic presumptions in the pre-paradigmatic foundation of the dominant paradigm?
Any scientific or technological discipline end up being a fake or pseudo science, if its pre-paradigmatic foundation comprises of flawed presumptions, since it is impossible to create real hard science by relying on flawed presumptions. Any scientific discipline end up being a paradox, if the BoK for the discipline has been acquired and accumulated by relying on flawed presumptions.
The pre-paradigmatic foundation for software and computer science created more than 50 years ago comprising of unproven flawed presumptions and large chunks of knowledge, observations and evidence for existing dominant paradigm for software engineering has been acquired and accumulated by relying on the flawed presumptions in the pre-paradigmatic foundation.
No technological problem can ever be solved by relying on flawed or invalid knowledge relevant to the problem. Hence, certain large problems in software stood unsolved for decades. Isn’t pathetic, if the research community can’t understand this simple logic that it is impossible to acquire relevant valid knowledge by relying of flawed basic presumptions?
Many software researchers argue computer science is not a science. I agree, since it is impossible to acquire and accumulate valid scientific knowledge by relying on flawed presumptions. Even the basic science end up as a paradox (i.e. geocentric paradox) in 16th century, since it is rooted in flawed presumption. The basic science was transformed by exposing the flawed presumption in its pre-paradigmatic foundation.
Best Regards,
Raju
