A duckling syndrome is when a person becomes very close with the first ever thing they stumble upon in a specific subject, similar to how young ducklings recognize the first being they encounter as their mother. Often times the loyalty for the very first thing that they've found in the industry gets so strong that they simply reject much better alternatives that they only happen to find out about later. This condition is mainly attributed to one's inability in growth and analysis.
