It's interesting to consider analogies to this, where bringing some new form of a thing into existence, previous forms become infeasible... https://warpcast.com/maurelian.eth/0x60b51da7

Ok, but seriously, it feels to me similar to as if you always tired a reef knot, and then one day your neighbour came up with a sheet bend (similar but different), and then somehow suddenly everytime you tried to tie a reef knot you somehow got a sheet bend.

But we know that different contexts permit different dynamics, and that dynamics modify contexts. Famous example is aerobic respiration in cells

OK, @nor. Your aerobic example makes me think this is why people are surprised.

Maybe I’m not understanding it well enough. It’s just saying that there are some crystals which once created are so contaminatory that you can’t make previous crystal structures, right? Isn’t something also true for like background radiation and other kinds of pollution? Trying to understand why surprising

Sounds to me like the phenomenon is not surprising to you because you were already aware of it, but it is surprising to others because they were not. Also you’re surprised that others are surprised because you thought it was common knowledge. Also I’m surprised by your surprise because what you thought was common knowledge was not just novel, but also surprising to me and many others.
