The geodynamo theory was formerly exploited as a generalisation of stellar homogenous MHD dynamos, based on the available observational evidence, and relying on sound arguments for that time. They chose to exploit a speculated theoretical model, to be later checked by observations. However, some newly available observational inferences, which progressively accumulated during over half a century, raised increasing difficulties and unavoidably implied ad hoc complications of the original simple conceptual scheme. In contrast, a mere inductive approach, based on a minimum speculative content, and allowing for maximum possible freedom to Mother Nature while choosing replies to specific enquiries for explaining observations, led to a different proposal, reviving a former mechanism speculated by Elsasser. Such hypothesis was, however, unduly abandoned shortly after its proposal, due to criticisms that now appear unsustainable. Upon rescanning the original literature of the ‘40’s, the former reasons can be inferred that led to such misunderstanding. Scientists exploited their great mathematical skill, while they apparently never reconsidered an a priori revision of their axioms.
