     Probably not.

     It's been going on forever, Russell.  I don't think anyone would dispute
that point.  Each generation has to learn on its own, however.  We thought we
had something new and bold.  In some cases we were correct.  In many more we
were wrong.  Somewhere in there we *did* get confused.  Pointing out that
others before us were just as confused doesn't really mean anything.
