Most people get scared by things they cant visualize. I have a friend at a large, popular tech company. He was tasked with solving a problem that a linear regression was exactly perfect for. The thing they were trying to model was even known to be linear! His boss wouldn't let him do it because he couldn't visualize a best plane. Instead, he had to do a series of best fit lines in the various possible 2D projections. At the end, he showed the boss that a linear regression provided the same result and the boss was still untrusting.
