It was opined on HN the other day, but operations research (aka data science), the annals of human process mapping (aka process automation), and control theory (outside ME/hardware) all suffer similarly.

A field retitles itself, and suddenly no one is aware of the still-applicable research from before the name change.

Which is probably more broadly to say that no modern courses teach surveys of previous material.
