There are innovators who "attempt" to advance the field and be the first. They appeal to the desperate and the early adopters with nothing to loose and much to gain.
There are guardians with deep experience who strive to ensure reliability and predictability. They appeal to those upon whom many are dependent; those with everything to lose and little to gain. Both camps are invaluable. Incorrectly categorizing a technology, or failing to understand who you're employed to represent, are personal problems.
