I've heard the same thing.  Recently, I read a quote, in the context of
computer science, I think, to the effect that ideas, no matter how good,
don't succeed without champions.  People have to hear an idea over and over
again and have to have their objections addressed and resolved before they'll
adopt it.

So if you like -one, start pushing it.
