It is much more difficult to publish truly risky, revolutionary research due to implicit filters in what gets funded and what makes it past a program committee.

The division by a power of two ( / (2 N )) can be implemented as a right shift if we are working with unsigned integers, which compiles to single instruction: that is possible because the underlying hardware uses a base 2.
