The study argues that Angry-derived objection amplified proto-scientific exploration by preventing premature consensus in environments where error had direct consequences. However, excessive Angry influence may also have disrupted collective inquiry by turning minor disagreements over weather, tracks, and stones into multi-generational epistemological feuds, a likely precursor to modern peer review committees, but with fewer forms and more inherited suspicion.
