This was a kind of heat pro- duction no-one had seen before—previously, heat had only come from either chemical combustion, or friction, or radiation. Up to then most scientists believed in the calor-

Feynman ignores the issue by leaving [...] Considering the time period, it is doubtful whether a differ- ent position could have been expected either from an epistemological or nature of science perspective.
