Yes, scientists (hopefully) change ientsie-tientsie data points or try to make partial theoretical conclusions. Paradigm perceivers take the truths, the most relevant datums, the most applicable aspects and the highest ethical considerations of scientists, and finding the integrative essence of that agglomeration discern the new paradigm concept in that body of knowledge/area of human endeavor that will transform and create an entire new pattern.

The difference between science and paradigm perception-wisdom is the difference between small and big, partial and full, depth and surface level, reform and permanent
progression.
