Well the more you know, the better you can do science in the future. For example. Ppl Show certain symptoms and die. We call it cancer. Then we find out they have too many leukocytes. We call it leukemia. Then we find out some have other leukocytes than others. We divide it into myeloid and lymphatic leukemia. We find even more specific cells and acute or slow progression. Then we find dysplasias. We have the Myelosyplastic Syndromes. Then we find that some drugs work better when there are specific genetic aberrations present. Then we see that the MDS can transition into an acute myeloid leukemia. So we try to find rules how to distinguish between these two. Then we find out, that it’s a fluent transition so we have to define the entities regarding their genetic abnormalities instead of the celltype and number.
As you can see, when our knowledge changes, our science changes. From symptoms to microscopic differences and from there to molecular differences. The more you know the more you can go into detail. So the science is always changing in this way.
