If you have spent time in academia, this concept is ever present.

Somehow all the academics in a particular field all over the world just happen to agree on a narrow set of ideas to explore next.

Most of science happens like this, yes even the Newtons and Einsteins of the world explored ideas in this narrow frontier of next ideas. There used to be exceptions in the distant past but modern science does not tolerate exceptions.
