> People don't want change? Nah, people like change when it is obvious to them that the change is good.

I agree with some of what you said, but just want to point out that you're doing the very thing you criticise here.

I think lots of people genuinely don't want change. Hopefully you have great answers to my objection.

In general, I've found the question of "who needs to provide evidence first?" is one of the most casually ignored and maliciously manipulated questions in so much professional discourse. The answer is often implicitly "the person with less role power" which by itself is a terrible answer.
