On the limitations of Popper's research, Lakatos adapts it through "in my conception, criticism does not -and must not- kill as fast as Popper imagined. Purely negative, destructive criticism, like refutation or demonstration of an inconsistency does not eliminate a programme. Criticism of a programme is a long and often frustrating process and one must treat building a programme leniently."

On the limitations of Kuhn's research, Lakatos argues a counterpoint through "the reconstruction of scientific progress as a proliferation of rival research programmes and progressive and degenerative problem-shifts gives a picture of the scientific enterprise which is in many ways different from the picture provided by its reconstruction as a succession of bold theories and their dramatic overthrows".

I like it.

On what counts as science or pseudo, arguing that science can predict events for which we didn't have the means to confirm yet, and pseudo can't: "Has for instance, Marxism predicted a stunning novel fact successfully? Never! It predicted the absolute impoverishment of the working class. It predicted the first socialist revolution would take place in the industrially most developed society" Lol happening rn.

Pareciera ser que el modelo de Lakatos, para explicar el desarrollo de la ciencia, es mucho más natural o adecuado
