I think it nicely illustrates what I think is the key point to promulgating new ideas: replacing my old, limiting beliefs with new ones (of my own design and of my own volition).

This can be the part that takes the most time and thick skin. As William James said in <a href="http://www.des.emory.edu/mfp/opinion.html" rel="nofollow">How an Individual Settles Into a New Opinion</a>, "Old opinions resist very variously", but a new idea with merit will eventually catch on.
