PLEASE explain this logic (or lack thereof) to me

They way I see it is that an "outlaw" is the worst part of any society and is what holds it back from "advancing", which is the very thing the "outlaw" won't wait for... therefore the "outlaw" is hindering his/her own desires of mankind's improvement by being a detriment to it... anyone else care to lend a thought or two?

Do you feel that way about outlaws like Galileo? Copernicus? Tyco Brahe? Magellan?

I could come up with more if you want?
