    I know when I'm doing research, it is frowned upon to use anything older than 10 years of age. While you say, once its been established its just repetition, however thats not true. Our technology is constantly changing, altering how we can do studies. Our understanding of things changes over time too as other related studies are completed, changing how we may interpret data. Studies vary greatly in my field 20 years ago and now, and its true in other field as well.

    In engineering the latest technology is often about presentation and analysis while the underlying equations depend on a pipe smoking stern Victorian man in a hat.

    Of course it's good practice to look for recent developments and papers citing the older ones are a good way to track that down, but it seems somewhat well childish to dismiss something just because of time since publication.
