"The inertia of the human mind and its resistance to innovation is demonstrated more clearly not, as you might think, in the uneducated masses, but rather in the professionals with their vested interests by tradition and the monopoly of knowledge. Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrity: it endangers their oracular authority, and evokes the deeper fear that their whole intellectual edifice, laboriously built could crumble. "
(Arthur Koestler, The Sleepwalkers)
