There's a whole literature on how hard it is for societies to adopt innovations even when those advances offer substantial benefits. Given that I'm more Ignaz Semmelweis than William Harvey in my propensity towards the charm and flattery that ease the process, I'm not surprised at having to work at this. Still, I have little doubt Detroiters will look back soon and ask themselves, "Why did I just want my Monet?" Then they'll start blaming the doubters for keeping the City unnecessarily broke for so long [[and point toward their own early acceptance!).
