If you can't explain what we already understand, you can't extend the structure in new and interesting ways. It's often the case that people make huge breakthroughs because they don’t understand the errors of a previous generation. So like most mutations in biology lead to things getting far worse rather than better. Watson fact has weight as was shown by Paul Minairev.
