The evidence provides the necessary inertia for resistance of
   change. Resistance to change is not necessarily a bad thing at
   all: Without it, what could be constructed? But it's just
   something good to keep in mind. It's especially true in the
   sciences where evidence provides adequate "gravity" for a
   resistance-to-change but is (should also be) nimble enough to
   change upon sufficient novel evidence, or novel formulations of
   existing evidence which is effectively the same result.
