“…And even this reticulated model, strictly speaking, cannot count as a genuine TSC, since it doesn't explain changes from one employed method to another, but only from one openly prescribed methodology to another. 35 So it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we are yet to construct our fi rst genuine TSC, a general theory that would explain the mechanism of transitions in theories and methods alike. Therefore, to say that we have exhausted all the possibilities would be highly misleading.…”

“…As a result, most of these theories stem from the confusion between TSC and MTD. 32 In addition, most of the extant theories fail to differentiate the social and individual levels. 33 Moreover, many of these theories mix up acceptance , use , and pursuit .…”
