99.9% heterodoxy is, Ignorance + Orthodoxy + Self-Righteousness and 0.1% of the time it's, A genuine pre-consensus advance in knowledge and it's *really* damn hard to distinguish which case you're in.

Depends on the field and the time period, I'd say. Some fields the orthodoxy is so creaky that there are a lot more pieces of valuable heterodoxy floating around.

Replying to @Metatone2
Yea. Although very often even in those cases the loudest of the heterodox present their heterodoxy as if it *was not* a well-known and growing self-criticism of the field, which is frustrating because that actually inhibits necessary corrections.
