Not sure why it's a flag. We have lots to learn from how science was done in the past, and from the actors who did science.
Recent science is pretty objectively at a low point (proportionally to overall) in "breakthrough innovation" research. It's possible that specialization is to blame, as it reduces intersectionality of fields.
