An important practical problem plus an attractive technical formulation generate an exciting research discipline, with funding, journals, conferences, and the appearance of interesting incremental results. Usually this is all wasted because fundamental assumptions are false.

Kinda. It's certainly true of an awful lot of software testing research and it's the natural failure mode of what I'm trying to do in my particular subdiscipline (although one I obviously hope to avoid).

Although having looked at your examples the fundamental assumptions are of a slightly different nature - it's not so much that they're false for any objective reality reasons as that they have very mistaken notions about how people work.
