> From extremely conforming people originality is met with immediate hostility. I'd submit a common case of that is someone with a new idea and being confronted with all the reasons it will never work. And that really does seem like a function of personality. The people saying why it won't work aren't being close-minded; they're gaving the idea a listen and thinking about it critically. They're may not even being outwardly rude. It's simply an unconcious preference to critique and find flaws.
