Science is a logical system, but it is also a social institution. So does science develop primarily according to the laws of logic or the laws of society?

There have been dierent perspectives on this in the philosophy of science. For example, Karl Popper (who proposed the principle of falsiability as a criterion to dierentiate between science and pseudo-science) asserted that science primarily is a logical system. If evidence that contradicts a theory is discovered, the theory needs to be refuted, and the whole process of scientic development is driven by a search for truth. Thomas Kuhn (who proposed the concepts of paradigm and paradigm shift) claimed that science is primarily a social institution, so the survival of theories will largely depend on who supports them.

Suppose a theory does not have rigorous scientic proof (yet), but it is commercially signicant. Would commercial considerations interfere with establishing the truth, and in what ways?
