This is too true.  Fortunately progress proceeds
slowly nonetheless.  For example C++ is much
less used these days where it is totally and
catastrophically inappropriate than in years past
-- maybe because the true C++ boneheads have
been promoted or are retiring...  Nevertheless I was
recently told by a new grad that I should translate
one of my (working, no problems) python apps to
C++ because C++ is "a higher level language."
But I'm sure he'll fall in line with the next stream
of lemmings rather than sink into the tarpit with the
dinosaurs.
