Scientific Progress

What do you mean by "Basic Research"?

For me, basic research in the field of text is, for example, the LAAFU theory ( Elmar Vogt ) or, in the field of illustration, the most recent work by Koen et al.

So I think to view research as slowly building brick upon brick is not an accurate view.

Well, the "big hit" is theoretically always possible. But I wouldn't count on it. However, I am also of the opinion that every theory, whether conclusive or not, can open up a new perspective on the VMS.
