Your interpretation, unknown due to lack of value, may be valid but is more likely incorrect. Historically, ideas take a long time (decades or more), before adoption. Some are simply not marketed on a wide scale, little exposure causing little adoption/implementation. Other ideas, even though as equally valid as ones that are adopted, are simply not implemented due to circumstance (one excludes the other due to existing infrastructure, etc.). Others are actively resisted (especially in the sciences, e.g. tectonics, ulcers due to bacteria/viruses instead of stress). Please do not judge an idea based on its age or lack thereof.
