S4...lol...why are you making this difficult?
The only way you could point to examples of "scientific cheaters" is if other scientists used science to prove they were cheating! Your own examples are contradicting your original hypothesis and comparison of science and WTS "new light."
My original hypothesis was fairly simple: What was once accepted as scientific fact is thrown out the window at a later date when a new science emerges to wipe out the old. New light replaces old light. Simpleexample: Old light - Research has shown that eggs are full of bad cholesterol and eating too many of them can lead to heart attack or stroke. New light: According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health, there is no significant link between egg consumption and heart disease. In fact, according to one study, regular consumption of eggs may help prevent blood clots, stroke, and heart attacks.
Simple.
What does all this have to do with old/new light when it comes to spirituality? If our technology coincides with our evolution as a species, both physical and spiritual, then it is quite possible the old ways of looking at our spiritual beliefs require a new theogeny, a new search light.
The analogy to the methods employed by the WTBTS may admittedly be a bit off.
