This is a good demonstration of the Lindy Effect. [0] Essentially, the longer something has been around, the more chance it has of still existing in the future.
This is exactly the same approach I take when I’m trying to learn a new field, especially one in which I have little to no background. I always begin with the texts that have survived the longest and are still recommended to this day.
