There is increasing evidence that the scheme, or paradigm, successfully applied to explain the wealth of electron-nucleus scattering data fails to describe the measured quasi elastic neutrino-nucleus cross sections. I argue that, before advocating modifications of the nucleon properties in the nuclear medium, the available data should be analyzed within a new paradigm, allowing for a consistent treatment of the reaction mechanisms, other than single nucleon knockout, contributing to the flux averaged neutrino cross section.
