Exactly. I think the article here is laboring under a hugely faulty implied methodology for the way human beings work. We aren't robots. We aren't going to read something, even something we agree very strongly with, and then suddenly change everything about our entire lives.
Human behavior is more often a matter of degrees and shades. It typically takes a while for things to sink in, and it typically takes a while for people to actually implement ideas they think are good.
What that means is that it's not just a simple binary matter of people reading something that should have an impact on behavior and then either it impacting their behavior a lot or not at all.
And that's true of everything, from political beliefs to personal beliefs and ideology to personal and professional behavior.
