Explanation 1 seems largely correct to me. Circadian biology as a field is unconducive to Gell-Mann; there’s pop psychology and pop philosophy, but I’m yet to encounter pop circadian biology. The Venn diagram of “can write coherently about X” and “can’t write accurately about X” has much more overlap in more popularly saturated fields.
