best student answer so far

In a short answer question on Kuhn

One example of incommensurability that I’ve observed over my years of being a huge nerd is that of a ‘who would win in a fight scenario’ such as Superman versus Batman. Since they both belong to different graphic novel labels, they reside in completely different worlds and no matter how much people on either side can huff and puff about who would win, there just is no way to measure them.


In my day, we just called them comic book companies. Also, Superman and Batman do appear together in Frank Miller's Dark Knight series. Oh yeah and, Superman would totally win in a fight. He has actual supernatural abilities, not just fancy millionaire gizmos.

The student does demonstrate a good understanding of Kuhn though.
