  -> Thanks Guillermina. I do agree with your interpretation, but I would argue that my answer does not preclude the idea that they were previously accepted paradigms, because otherwise they would never have become paradigms

Explanation:
I think your own translation captures the original better than the other proposed translations. However, I do not see the need to keep the word "actualmente". How about "... proved to be wrong..."
