Nit: neurology != neuroscience.
We do know a LOT about neuroscience, but we've no idea how much we've yet to discover. Likely, it's a fractal, so we're not anywhere close and never will be. Like in Physics, we know a LOT about electrons and how to build a bridge, but we know nothing about 'dark energy'. It's also true in neuroscience that we know a LOT about action potentials but nearly nothing about how astrocytes interact with synapses. It's not a smooth march, but a VERY spasmatic stumble.
I don't think fields should progress in any manner whatsoever. They progress as they do and at their own paces. Otherwise it wouldn't be research, it'd be following plans. It's not something that can be proscribed, but more described.
