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."

Just my $0.02
