Science is one of the most stratified social institutions and its stratification is connected to productivity and influence of scientists. The paper deals with Lotka's Law, Ortega Hypothesis and Planck's Principle, very important ideas in sociology of science, some of which are proved incorrect. These ideas and their consequences may have very important implications on development of science and interactions between science and society.
