The actual quote behind Plank's "Science progresses, one funeral at a time" is: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." It's as true for rock and roll as it is for science. Metallica never recorded a NuMetal album. The problem is many times worse when it's instituted in the form of an... erm.. institution. It's as prevalent (in many forms) in companies as it is in professional bodies, government bodies, etc. IDK what the solution is, but institutions don't die, so Max's approach won't work on them.
