Some people believe technological advancement only has one single path. Innovation can only occur as a fixed formula where defined conditions must be met. For example, industrialization can only occur if coal and oil exists.

It's a very arrogant stance which assumes we know everything about the nature of the universe and what is, is all there could ever be.
