Maybe I'm just cynical about human nature, but my couple of decades in mechanical and nuclear engineering suggest to me quite the opposite. It may not be once a week, but it's prob not too far fetched to say once a month, I hear the general equivalent to this sentiment: "if that was a good idea and/or worked better than what we're doing, someone would have already done it."
The shorter, more common version is: "...this is how it's done and it's always been done this way."
While I have tons of respect for any experimentation/trials/prototyping, even if the results were simply to prove what doesn't work, I honestly have zero respect for any reason for why something isn't done that sounds even remotely like "this is the way we've always done it and there's nothing better."
