That was my guess. I wanted to mention that each epochial insight has been at the same time the use of a new method. That is roughly equivalent to a new way of thinking. For example, we have been laboring under Einstein's remarkable papers of 1905 for a hundred years. There is nothing epochial about any of the insights discovered under special relativity or brownian motion or the photoelectric effect once the basic idea was published. Use of a method is more of an engineering application than science, which should probably include the scientific method as well.
What we should look for--new method. New way of thinking.
