One of the things Kuhn said about normal science is that people 'expect' things to be discovered.
From Ian Hacking
The anti-Darwin movement has racked up one astounding achievement. It has made a significant proportion of American parents care about what their children are taught in school.
The debate about who decides what gets taught is fascinating, albeit excruciating for those who have to defend the schools against bunkum.
The public debate about evolution itself, as opposed to whether to teach it, is something else. It is boring, demeaning, and insufferably dull.
Unfortunately, anti-Darwinism keeps playing minor variations on the same negative themes and adds nothing to our understanding of life.
All peoples have evolved extraordinarily precise ways of settling issues about the things that matter to them.
