There are so many gaps in our knowledge, it's ridiculous. Go look for papers studying how to kill the eggs of canine roundworms (e.g. in veterinary settings) or whether surgery is an effective treatment for exotropia. The literature is SPARSE.
People who are working out their ideas far outside the mainstream have no one to cite but them selves. Some are quacks, to be sure, but sometimes a field is just not ready for their work because the utility of the idea is not easily apparent, or because it's perceived to be too risky. A field needs a healthy mix of the the curmudgeonly stubborn thinkers going their way no matter the cost, and those making steady progress on solvable problems.
