| Dec 16, 2023 at 21:23 | comment | added | Timothy Chow | @FedorPetrov I would rather say that familiarity breeds contempt. A clever idea seems less clever the more times one sees it applied. This is not a logical truth, but it is a psychological truth. Once an argument becomes "standard," it becomes less publishable, no matter how clever it was the first time around. | |
