I'd imagine something actually revolutionarily useful would probably have controversial assumption breaking conventions that people would be very skeptical of along with some novel concepts and definitions most wouldn't see any value or sense in. If this were to actually happen, I think most people would discount it as gibberish because it would appear to be wrong things based on inventiveness and misunderstanding. Which if someone with a fields medal published you take seriously but if it's someone who works retail and is talking about aliens, you're probably going to ignore. There's a twilight zone episode about that where someone travels back in time to prevent things but isn't taken seriously and can't stop disasters.
