Abstract: This paper addresses some of the implicit rules that may be 
involved in scientific inquiry. Factors outside the scientific method such 
as personal characteristics, belief systems, and scholarly eminence may 
play a role in scientific inquiry. In this case study, we show that the 
referencing of two prominent psychologists, Jean Piaget and Clark Hull, 
declined sharply after they died. This change, we suggest, may be due to 
the absence of an actual influence on colleagues and students.
