This has also been studied with evolution in the 19th C., and its exactly the opposite. The older generation believed it first, before the younger. This quote is used, without evidence, and it never made any sense. People who know more, and are incentivised to act on their knowledge, often change their minds. Expertise is a contrary force to partisanship. (And as far as people cite Kuhn: he was wrong. He did not set out to disprove his views, if he did, he'd find plenty of examples to the contrary).
