You explained this very well with the point that the model necessarily has that "blatant" novelty in order to be useful as more than a quote engine in the first place.

That's a good way to explain the bias too. You can see it now if you ask about Michael Levins work which is spreading now in biology but somewhat still outweighted by older views on formation of the organs during growth, and the extent of possibilities with bioelectric/genetic engineering (e.g. two headed animals). The models often don't even consider or accept that the research Levin reported would be even possible (other times, they can, but I think it serves as a good warning light that this bias can dangerously act as a permanent anchor).
