This is the question of rediscovery and rediscovery rate...
----
 From chemists - long time ago - I heard that easier to synthetize a 
new organic substance than to find it in existing libraries 
(databases).
About 20000000 such substances has already been synthetized(I heard 
and do not believe) and only 63000 seqs in EIS.

Since no well enough organized Index and Classification is now 
available, the most efficient way is to discover through rediscovery.
Obviously with significant loss. However, this game is clear.

The avoidance tactics may be either generalization or specialization.
as you said.In general both can be "relevant" and irrelevant". It 
depends..

Now in many fields EIS in its baroque not yet flamboyant rococo 
phase.
Darwinian evolution theory says appearence of mutations and also 
selection. But no fight between sequences .. Number theory is more
tolerant than Nature.
----
If its organic development goes on without disturbances even 
the age of Dada may arise. But how to recognize it?
