Sometimes, a theory developer gets some good thoughts that can explain a lot of things and hopefully becomes a TOE. Usually, there are still some weakness with its key feature. (Otherwise, already easily completed as a TOE.)
Normally, that person need to elaborate 10 to 100 times more efforts to tackle that hidden weakness and usually still in vain. That is why the history of science progress very slow but great leaped after revolutionary thoughts. Once a revolutionary thought or a paradox needs 1,000 times more efforts and luckily came out a solution, then, perhaps it is a unique thought or interpretation.
To test whether it is unique or not, the easiest way to do is to make some google searches with that key word, key term and key phrases. If really no results found in the internet, congratulation, perhaps unique!
Sad to mention that: self created new words/acronym, naive interpretations and crackpots usually not being respected as unique!
