Absolutely right. In fact those jumps happens precisely after a field has grown
over-mature with some ideas that until that moment seems to be definitive,
lasting, uniques and absolute. It is the case with newtonian phisics. I remeber
a physicist of last XIX century saying everything was discovered and only some
obscure corners were waiting ilumination.
This Ruffian thing could be "just" a twicking of some known engine -but even in
such a case it would deserves praise due to the perfomance- but also it could be
a real jump forard. To see it otherwise without further evidence seems to me
short of vision and even, perhaps, malicious and full of bad will.
My bst
