They'll energetically invent yesterday, tomorrow. I'd disagree with old interpretations like RAW and to some extent ESR in that the neophiles tend to now be regarded more as some kind of court jester figure for those (businessmen?) who exploit their vulnerability WRT linear history vs circular history rather than being regarded as heretics and all that other RAW language.
