If you look close enough, you see this kind of thing quite often, eyperts in one field "discovering" the basics of another, non related, field. And then praising themselves for discovering it. No idea if people looked at that, but I sometimes have the impression, that our hyper specialization isn#t helping.

I see this at the moment a lot with supply chain management. Best example used to be masks, and no vacinations. It is kind of funny to see in real time people dicovering, and trying to cope with, the time axis coming with purchase orders, volumes and delivery dates. It is also quite saddening to watch. A medical researched discovering maths I learned already before entering university falls into kind of the same category.
