sorry, I just mean the "so-called experts" will be experts in thier field, but on this issue they turned out wrong. Any new ideas are going to come from one or two experts in a field, and most of these new ideas turn out to be wrong, so there is a lot of skepticism of new ideas. Unfortunately this means valid ideas can take a long time to be accepted, but it does seem to eventually happen (as in this case).
I believe there are some groups of people in any giving field that are set in there ways.They want to hear nothing that might rock there ship.
