They have not read the literature. At least, the people I have talked to at these places have not read it. History is full of similar questions. Why did doctors ignore Semmelweis? Why did they ignore the evidence that Helicobacter pylor cause stomach ulcers. Why did the millionaires in San Francisco ignore the opportunity to build the transcontinental railroad, given that that turned out to be the most lucrative venture in history? Why didn't DEC and Data General respond to the personal computer instead of going out of business? IBM invented the PC yet they almost went out of business in the late 1980s because they could not keep up with changes in the industry. It is human nature. Things like this happen all the time in every country. - Jed
