It's not just that. You're going to have to contend with the resistance of people you're attempting to dislodge conventional wisdom from.

To quote Alistair Fraser, "I find teaching of science fairly easy. I have no difficulties with science education; my difficulties are with science reeducation. If I can teach something about which the students have never heard, I find that they generally both welcome and understand it. It is when I have to teach them about something that they have already learned incorrectly, that I start to identify with Sisyphus."
