Reference/extension/theory/meaning change/Putnam: e.g. acid: today, we mean something different when we use the word "acid".

HackingVsPutnam: e.g. Lavoisier held all views which are accepted today plus the wrong one that all acids contain oxygen. In spite of the mistake he spoke of the same acids.
