    Larry, I'd like to remember You that science progress has been made by
    people that forced common knowledge, starting from Platone spherical earth
    up to Einstain theory of relativity.
    A lot of failures sure, but a single success is enough to pay out.
    The _main_ difference with the two examples is that earth has always been
    spherical and sub-atomic mechanics is always been in that way, while
    technology progress could make someone else to succeed where you failed
    time ago.
