There is a psychological component here that is very similar to the arms race mentality.

An object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

It may be an undetermined distance away, but there will be a behavior bubble until the way we engage (in a linear format) will be disrupted. Then there will be another 'scatter', and we will re-form into different version of engagement (web 3.0?).

I'm about to read up on Ron Kenet's book on Information Quality. I am truly curious how he addresses the history of the dimension discovery.

It seems to be that as we learn more about what it means to think less objectively-- our ability to see and understand more dimensionality to information quality expand.

Deterministic thinking is fine as a methodology for understanding aspects of object X, as long as it is does not resolve as absolute. This is why the practice of history is imperative, but a also slippery slope.
