Historically, the people who have the right connections win.
Connections help, and timing helps too. If you propose
something at a time when the technology is just about ready, and
there's an emerging awareness of the problem, and there's enough
energy to overcome the inertia imposed by the status quo, it's a
lot more likely to succeed than if you propose the same thing
either too soon or too late. There's a strong bias against
"old" ideas even if their time has now come; people would rather
consider a new proposal than an old one.
