but you could extrapolate from the trajectory their articles move along? just as you could reconstruct the parabola from 3 points, you could reconstruct their view from 3 articles (to lesser degree maybe, or maybe you need like 30 articles)

I can see their research trajectory, but not the trajectory of their fundamental relationship to the reality of their field (mostly because only a minority of scientists actually have such a relationship and talk about it with each other).
