I agree with you. You are right. However such was the case back 100yrs. People had similar attitudes. The pace was determined also by the rate of acceptance of new concepts.

Hence: The wheels of progress are not turned by cranks.
In accordance with that quote people will often think a new concept is the work of a crank. Therefore not accepting it and funding will be difficult for research.

People also resist change.
Attitudes have not changed much over the years. Behavior has. We will plod along at the rate of acceptance. Which I believe is accelerating because info is so freely available on the internet.

Cheers Marty
