Or chew gum & walk for those that do not want to understand or try something new. Esqump keep up the fight, if we can get one of thease old-timers to try something new (WE WIN)
It shouldn't ever happen and any UIC who tells you otherwise, IMO, may not be qualified for the position and possibly teaching their own philosophy, not that of the organization they are representing.
