Re: Hard truths

That's actually a sound prediction/observation and very true in general. As the great philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn once observed: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."

It's not only true for scientific paradigms but also for many other trends too (adoption of a modern language).
