I think a lot of decipherers aren't aware that they are repeating the same mistakes as others before them as they tend to start with a blank slate on which they build their theories. I think there is a place for different theories and I, personally, think it is a positive thing even if others don't, but when those theories are methodologically equivalent then they are really the same theory repeated again and again. And that is what we tend to see the same theory repeated albeit with different proposed languages.
