Innovation probably requires real world obstacles not chess strategies, because you have to include the human factors.

They also have to place themselves on a different road. The road less traveled by.

Innovation requires something else.

Kuhn�s insistence that a paradigm shift was a m�lange of sociology, enthusiasm and scientific promise, but not a logically determinate procedure, caused an uproar in reaction to his work. Kuhn addressed concerns in the 1969 postscript to the second edition. For some commentators it introduced a realistic humanism into the core of science while for others the nobility of science was tarnished by Kuhn's introduction of an irrational element into the heart of its greatest achievements.
