"An explosion without a bang"

The International Journal of Epidemiology has republished a paper on the marginal importance of shared environment by Plomin and Daniels: "Why are children in the same family so different from one another."  Neven Sesardic wonders why such a supposedly revolutionary change in thinking has had such little effect:

However astonishing this empirical discovery was (as it definitely was), it did not make a splash. Or, to mix the metaphors, it was like an explosion without a bang. The lack of reaction to such an amazing result is itself amazing. It is not just that this truly remarkable finding was not widely reported in newspapers, magazines or popular science publications.The event was also largely ignored in many relevant parts of psychology. No re-examination there, no questioning of the fundamental presuppositions, no paradigm shift.

Despite mountains of the evidence, juvenile delinquents and their political enablers continue their officer Krupke defense for  bad behavior.  Be it accelerated evolution or complications in the "Out Africa" model we can expect more quiet explosions.
