I don't know if the rules/paradigm thesis does connect with the three points (or if they really connect with each other) -- I should have made clearer this was just random jottings of ideas after reading the afterword black body, not any type of an argument yet. The three points really are just speculations -- things that came to mind after I finished reading. It seemed a pity not to say them at all; but I have no idea how directly relevant or helpful they'll turn out to be (or if I'll even still think them in a few weeks time).
I'll read (and reread) with a view to seeing whether Kuhn coincides with my claim about rules and paradigms: it's meant to be my idea of what he says (or acts as if he thinks), but it's no more (at the moment) than an idea to be tested. However I think it's the first time I've directly tried to answer your repeated question -- so it's sort of a start (at last).
