The positive heuristic of the programme saves the scientist

Summary

This quote suggests that having a positive heuristic within a scientific program helps scientists navigate through various anomalies without getting overwhelmed or confused. A positive heuristic is a guiding principle or strategy that enables scientists to stay focused and find solutions amidst the complex and uncertain nature of their work. By adopting such a mindset, scientists can approach anomalies as opportunities for discovery, rather than challenges that hinder their progress. This mindset allows them to maintain clarity and objectivity, leading to new insights and advancements in their field of study.
