<p>Prompt:</p>
<p>Are all important discoveries the result of focusing on one subject?</p>
<p>(This was an actual prompt on one of the released SATs)</p>
<p>Well, because of "all," it is definitely easier to argue against this question.
However, I'm troubled by lack of evidence.</p>
<p>For my first body paragraph, I talked about James Watson and Francis Crick, since they took some time of their research and took interest in Rosalind Franklin's X-ray crystollography of DNA, which later became instrumental in finding DNA structure. I guess in a very broad sense, Watson and Crick did deviate from their original subject matter, the study of DNA structure in the molecular level.</p>
<p>I then hit lack of evidence; I just had to blame my lack of knowledge on current events, biographies, and so on.</p>
<p>So, my big FAVOR is, can anybody tell me an example where a person made a remarkable discovery when he or she took some time off of his or her obsession/studies?</p>
<p>And, please appease my first example for me as well; any critique welcomed:)</p>
