What could have we been missing while Pauli's Theorem was in force?

Pauli's theorem asserts that the canonical commutation relation $[T,H]=iI$ only admits Hilbert space solutions that form a system of imprimitivities on the real line, so that only non-self-adjoint time operators exist in single Hilbert quantum mechanics. This, however, is contrary to the fact that there is a large class of solutions to $[T,H]=iI$, including self-adjoint time operator solutions for semibounded and discrete Hamiltonians. Consequently the theorem has brushed aside and downplayed the rest of the solution set of the time-energy canonical commutation relation.
