  This discussion reminds me of two wonderful quotes:

  ============================================
   
  “When a thing is new, people say: ‘It is not true.’ 
Later, when its truth becomes obvious, they say: ‘It is not important.’ 
Finally, when its importance cannot be denied, they say: 
'Anyway, it is not new.’”

--William James (1842-1910)
   
   
    All truth passes through three stages: 
   First, it is ridiculed; 
   Second, it is violently opposed; and 
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident. 
   
-- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
