Ironically the article claims scientists become less radical as they get older. I suppose it depends what you consider radical.

Radical in their area of expertise. If you have spend decades building certain mental models and then theoretical models that most likely work well(as you were rewarded for them) you are likely get stuck in following those.
Does not mean you have well working models outside these. Or that those same models will work well in entirely distinct contexes.
