Harrison,

The above is a succinct statement of the usual great difficulty of 
introducing a new paradigm.   This was spoken to by Tolstoy rather well.   I've also 
included a quote from Daniel Boorstin from his book "The Discoverers" which 
relates to the 'why'.

Paul

I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest 
complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be 
such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have 
delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to 
others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their 
lives.”

               Leo Tolstoy
               1828-1910
               Russian philosopher
               Author: War and Peace 1866

“The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents 
and the ocean was not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge.”
                    Daniel J. Boorstin
