Mold thinking that had a similar thing in the past
Pattern of way of thinking, "something similar was done in the past, it didn't work, so this won't work either."
Comparing the old one A with the new one B, they are not exactly the same but have various differences.
The surrounding circumstances are different depending on the time of appearance, no matter how similar they are.
Ignoring those differences and classifying with past failures is overgeneralization.
While this may save resources, there is a significant disadvantage of killing innovation.
