Good post Don, you are right. It will take someone using something outside of the system to make a break-through.
There are a plethora of fine new inventions each year. Most of us neither hear of nor see them. There is a huge distance between an excellent idea and marketplace acceptance. Unless consumers learn about and accept something new it has no commercial life and it lies on a shelf. Wright came up with a great design in his Usonian houses. Few were built. Many years later it took Eichler's enthusiasm, money and marketing to cause the design to gain acceptance. Most people make no connection between FLW and the design although Wright was not only inside the system, he, to a substantial degree, was the system.
