Is there a reason for that? I would also like to ask why a model built for describing biological evolution is used here to describe a very social process, the diffusion of innovations, rather than the well-known and tested <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_adoption_lifecycle" rel="nofollow">Technology Adoption Lifecycle</a>?

The "two paths" you identify, chart trajectories already evident and so, only imply incremental growth. “…it is during the plateaus that innovation occurs”.
