“All revolutionary advances in science may consist less of sudden and dramatic revelations than a series of transformations, of which the revolutionary significance may not be seen (except afterwards, by historians) until the last great step. In many cases the full potentiality and force of a most radical step in such a sequence of transformations may not even be manifest to its author.”

[...] I was not genomed to alter history, [...] no revolutionary ever was.” quote by David Mitchell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4a2/david-mitchell-264_history_all-rising-suns-set-archivist-all-revolu_2729375.jpg)
