To me the sad part is that it's way too easy to accept as a solid model. It's so simple, feels so elegant and powerful, a lot of people have a hard time seeing what could go wrong with such a beautiful model. They then take decades to realize it didn't mean anything really.

Basically, it's way harder to make people accept it's complex and highly variable when they've already internalized a shiny theory of everything.
