I cannot find a cite for this but I do not find it implausible.

I cannot find a cite for this but I find it implausible; it is my
experience that changes of any sort meet with resistance from some
quarters. As is attributed to Machiavelli: 'There is nothing more
difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage
than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all
who would profit by the preservation of the old system and merely lukewarm
defenders in those who would gain by the new one.'
