Acre Standard

Famous quotes containing the words acre and/or standard:

    And every acre good enough to eat,
    As fine as flour put through a baker’s sieve.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.
    Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
