“Dysfunctional,” how?
Bear in mind I’m only asking because I’m provisionally giving you credit in hoping you’ll have a real answer rather than “begging the question” by simply positing Toulmin is right and Kuhn is wrong.
Please don’t waste my time responding if that’s your premise.
Read it yourself, again.
"Anomaly: Blame apparatus, set aside problem, modify paradigm." Sounds pretty dysfunctional to me, and therefore not what Toulmin had in mind.

Yet again you project views on me I never expressed, or quacked, as the case may be.
In fact, I don't doubt that both are right in different circumstances.
Kuhn describes a more chaotic, dysfunctional & unconscious "revolutionary" process, while Toulmin defends the honor of science by positing a more orderly & consciously directed "evolutionary" process.
I think both processes are, or were, true at different times & places.
You disagree?
