That's true. However only Plank responded in the beginning. Part of that was due to Einstein's being less than koshure, of course: he neglected to cite the work of many people whose findings he rediscovered, unawares, in the course of creating special relativity... of course many academics couldn't understand his arguments, either.
However I would like to remark -- I meant to say this in the first post -- I see the real awakening as for this community, and for socionics in general. No longer just a few people in Ukraine doing the lion's share of the speculation... the push to create a fully descriptive system of personality for its own sake, with thousands of speculators seeking to contribute to its development. I've put a lot of thought into how such an effort might be conducted... I think it could be managed in a matter similar to the code versioning systems used by open source software projects. Discoveries are submitted to a weekly register, where everyone who submits roughly similar ideas in the same week are credited as co-discoverers. I think this would be an ideal means of managing contributions to a field as dynamic and accessible as social trait psychology.
