I'm sorry, but this is rude, discouraging, and flat out wrong. This sort of stuff happens all the time. I personally work for a company whose founders implanted them in an incredibly calcified industry despite no industry experience, and I can rattle off dozens of successful examples of this.
In fact, this very attitude is the exact reason why there have been industries that are primed for "disruption." If only those within the industry, burdened with preconceived notions and patterns of thought, try to improve an industry, you are very rarely going to see revolutionary change.
You don't need to "disrupt" anything to be a very good business, but I really resent this "leave it to the pros" attitude.

I'd rather people feel slighted than to have a bunch of kids fresh out of college trying to disrupt, say, the health insurance industry. This isn't about "fresh eyes". The problem with having no domain knowledge is that you can't identify many of the issues that needs solving within an industry. Every job I've ever had, I see issues that I can solve with my experience.
- doingmyting 10y agoI'd argue the opposite. Too much domain knowledge leads to creation of the very same "solutions" that have existed with minor tweaks. See Henry Ford faster horse for reference.
