Should I have said "physicists"?

It wouldn't help your case since that's a paraphrasing of this quote from Max Planck:

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”

. . . but only if it _works_, which is the point I was making.
