You can believe what you want, but in a corporate environment there is (and always will be) inertia. Not everybody wants to learn new things, many unless they are pressured to.
I hardly believe that a University setting is corporate, but the world is changing so mayhap that is a viable comparison. On the other hand it is a university environment in which everything changes, so learning new things is par for the course. You are correct inertia lives in many forms outside of the usual physical sense and it is perfectly Newtonian. More's the pity, but c'est la guerre.
