I think the OP has a point - look at the cycle of innovation e.g in physics - happens almost every 100! I think it’s not an accident - as older generation die out the new ones can easily question the wisdom of the death vs living giants!

Or you could maybe go much faster as you don't have to tech new generations of physicists all iver again & you won't loose all the Nobel Price level geniuses after a few decades.
