But it's a bit of an open question in the end. I suppose in some ways it parallels the situation with Lamarckian evolution... Hi George – I see your point.

However, because it was so completely wrong in ascribing the discoverability of localization through contours of the skull, I'd argue it hindered the scientific discovery of localization. A great idea, expressed through the wrong metrics, becomes a point of ridicule, blinding prospective discoveries for fear of peer response.

Two great quotes - and both definitely apply here. Edison in particular is a great example of figuring out which ideas won't work as quickly as possible. Thanks for stopping by Peter!

I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.' http://www.wisdomquotes.com/001626.html This brings two quotes to mind, in sequence:

http://quotationsbook.com/quote/26709/

‘A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new’
Einstein, Albert

Though I am pretty sure there is also one that goes ‘A person who never made a mistake never made anything’

And, perhaps more pertinently here:

THOMAS ALVA EDISON
‘I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.’
