A lot of scientific discoveries seem to consist of discovering that something that looks like a mess is actually clean if you look at it in a different way.

Can you give a few examples?
I was thinking of how attached astronomers were to circular orbits, and how elegant the answer turned out to be after all. Then I realized it was much the same with relativity.

History of science is history of compression progress, as J. Schmidhuber would put it.

The same example came my mind too :). Also when I think, the same with discovery that there is no aether and that light travels in vaccum.

Good example but astronomy has coloured our view of what the natural world actually is. We strive to replicate the ideal friction free conditions of the heavens in the lab...and call every other environment messy. Maybe that needs to change.
