지문)

Historians of science once portrayed discovery as a sequence of breakthroughs—moments when singular minds overturned error and revealed truth. Yet closer examination reveals a different pattern: each celebrated insight rested on infrastructures of craft, correspondence, and collective standards that made the "breakthrough" legible in the first place. Galileo's telescope required glassmakers; Darwin's theory depended on taxonomists who had sorted specimens for generations; Einstein's relativity presupposed shared protocols for synchronizing clocks across distances. These enabling conditions rarely appear in textbooks, which prefer heroes to networks. The omission distorts more than history; it shapes how publics imagine research itself, fostering the myth that genius operates in isolation and that progress awaits the next rare mind. In reality, transformative ideas emerge when many small competencies align—when instrument-makers, data collectors, theorists, and critics occupy overlapping roles long enough for anomalies to surface and stabilize. Recognition of this web does not diminish individual brilliance but relocates it: the innovator becomes someone who synthesizes collective work rather than conjuring ex nihilo. Therefore, a more honest pedagogy would emphasize that scientific progress fundamentally depends on ____________________.
