So the expectation should be that few people will recognize it, or for that matter even know about it, yes? It wasn't a rhetorical question. In contrast, analysts are trained to share some formal systems, and that has the benefit of facilitating precise communication about a certain set of ideas. As you point out, I think reasonably, some may be limited in their thinking by this indoctrination. I would not be surprised if this is holding back scientific progress. For example, because of fast computers, there is now less practical need to find analytical solutions to problems. A computational approach can be more expedient and more flexible.
