As a once researcher and Research Manager, there are in "science" seekers of knowledge (researchers) and appliers of knowledge (practitioners); a person can be both.It is more often practitioners that fall into the habit of thinking "if it isn't in a textbook, it doesn't exist." When confronted with heavy workloads, information overload, fatigue... and ego one can readily develop beliefs and expectations that allow one to easily dismiss emerging or even established knowledge.
Researchers by nature and nurture tend not to accept that all is known - they have to, it is their life.
