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.
