Oh, absolutely. Because clearly, if a mathematical proof is over a century old, we should just ignore it. Who needs foundational logic when you can have vibes based economics? Next you'll tell me gravity is a stale concept.
During years of studying mathematics I barely read contemporary works. This was because some old books are just really good and because most contemporary science relies on their foundations. If a book survives the test of time, the author probably did something right.
