Not a safe bet, but such predictions aren't useful.

Sean Fagan seems to have captured your entire attention,
Scott, since three of your four paragraphs are reactions to
this one single phenomenon.  I don't think it's so much a
matter of bullshit as it is of giving greater priority to
useful work -- even useful disagreement.

The business of water is to flow; it goes around the rocks
in the streambed.  It does so easily, automatically, without
effort worth noting.  We should probably be doing likewise.
