Don't worry, Jens: this is the "normal" scientific trend:
1. there are only fews that can generate new ideas.
2. there are only fews that can understand and propagate that new
ideas.
3. there are next some that based on the help of the second wave
arrived "to detail, refine, classify etc...the new ideas" making "a
theory"
4. and finally, the great majority will arrive only at the end : they
only repeat and propagate 'the current theory' making 'a Dogma' (=>
that usually is conservative in relation with the new ideas and the
generators of that ideas that 'are often more readily rejected than
something much inferior coming from someone else'.
However 'sooner or later': the scientific full loop arrived 'somehow'
to be executed from 1 to 4.
Unfortunately for you, 'knowing that you could push more on that new
direction if the trend will appear more quickly'...usually this will
not happen: due to the 'great majority' that 'preserved and propagated
the current dogma' and 'justified their existence only by only doing
this' : but somehow their role is necessary too...
(it's true that in addition there is also a lot "of noise" that always
appears all along the steps 1 to 4)
With all my respect,
