This post reminds me of a “Far Side” cartoon I recently saw that depicted a wagon train of pioneers under attack by Indians shooting flaming arrows into the covered wagons. One pioneer says to the other, “Flaming arrows? They cant do that? Can they?”

Its a perfect example of your point. We get very accustomed to how things have been done in the past, and so we naturally assume their must be some rule against any other approach, even when the new approach is devastatingly effective.

Typically, these “rules” we are accustomed to playing by are just some random person’s idea that other people started doing as well. You and I are just as qualified to become a “random person” and get people enrolled in our new, better, more effective ideas.

Great post! Ross
