If Steven Johnson is right about Where Good Ideas Come From, "Houston, we
have a problem."
If SJ is wrong, we should expect a clamor for the stimulus dough, and a
flock of applications . . . er, proposals. The real nutcases won't bother,
and those who harbor ill-fitting concepts will be rejected . . . or will
reject the premise.
In any case (or guess) the proof will be in the demonstration of the
validity of the prediction. How many revolutions hath NSF wrought?

Subject: [ECOLOG-L] Advancing theory in biology (NSF)
This is the final year of the Advancing Theory in Biology
competition. The Directorate for Biological Sciences will continue to
encourage proposals that develop new theory to account for
independent phenomena at two or more levels of biological
organization. These should be submitted to the appropriate core
program(s) in the Directorate for Biological Sciences for review.
