You do understand that it's far easier to win while advocating for the status quo than it is to win while advocating for something new right? You get more resources, more backing, fewer attacks, etc, the playing field isn't level at all. Status quo ideas don't necessarily win because they're better, they win because they're the status quo. You can't learn to simply be the status quo when you're not the status quo. The things they can learn are from the people who managed to overcome the status quo.
