If you mean the original insights of Strauss and Howe, you may have some such claim.  I consider turning theory to have merit, but point out that S&H took most observations from the Industrial Age and did not account fully for the age transition.  Like any theory, you often have to tweak to keep the theory valid.  In the case of Einstein tweaking Newton, it can be quite a tweak, but a tweak for physicists more than engineers.  For most people and most environments, Newton is good enough.  

Anyway, a failure to adopt to new data doesn't make devotion to a dated theory a good thing.
