Wrong question, with an easy answer, capsulized in  Youniverse
and elsewhere as cultural inertia--roughly, most people,  most
of the time, believe and act as they have been taught  or
conditioned.
 
But not always, and in a few cases the conditioning is  positive.
We're gaining on them, albeit still much more slowly  than
we would like.  We are doing some  things right, and if we
maintain and improve the outlook is good.
 
R.E.
