In science the mundane abhor a vacuum. They will rush in by the thousands and argue over minutia - endlessly, exhaustively, for years. Running in place furiously whilst getting nowhere, except promoted, entire careers made.
Genius eventually steps in every now and then, destroys the vacuum with stunningly beautiful truth, we advance - sometimes unbelievably so, and then the whole process starts over again. All of science owes its major advances to a few dozen men and women, the rest just so much noise.
