Before things can change in the scientific community, they have to
change in the academic community which produces the members of the
scientific community.  As of yet I don't believe this has happened to
such an extent that we can really expect to see the effects.  

Look at how people are taught in our educational system:  "This *is*
the right answer.  Remember it and place it on the test.  Those other
things that people are trying are just crap.  I don't want to hear
about them, because *this* is right."

             I.U. probably doesn't agree with me.  I don't speak for
                    them so it doesn't matter, now does it?
