the problem is that you are, IMHO mistakenly, conflating at least thee different things: movements, the subject matter and business around them.

Movements are not about the subject matter or the business that develops around it but about people who are interested in the subject matter. Movements are about how those people interacts and go about discovering, leaning, improving and interacting.

As such stating that they are stupid is...errr..stupid and kind of shows that in this case you are doing exactly the same mistake you are (correctly) complaining about: you don't know enough about the body of knowledge called Anthropology that came before you.

also: just because you don't see the movements in sciences like physics doesn't mean they are not there. You are comparing an extremely young thing (software engineering/CS) with sciences that have been going for centuries (and more). You need to study the history of science in order to be able to see the movements over the centuries (and it's plausible that after a few centuries movements become slower/longer)
