When a scientist becomes an expert in his field, he has his entire
life invested in the paradigm.  It becomes a thing of faith mistaken
for knowledge.  It would take an epiphany tantamount to a blind man
suddenly gaining sight to change.  It's a great individual that can
admit his entire life's work was flawed.  It rarely happens.
