“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”
- Isaac Newton

One form of the past effect
You are dealing with a statistical problem in a special context.
You solve it by realizing a new interpretation of an old, interesting, but uncelebrated result, which was developed in a completely different context.
