Yes, a researcher must have truly in fact the foresight to do research in very obscure area. Just imagine Karl Pearson’s paper on “On lines and planes of closest fit to systems of points in space” was published in 1901 and cited for the first time in 2002 and he passed away in 1936. He left a timeless legacy and paper.
