They're incapable of adaptation and adoption, like grandma who doesn't want an iPhone because her touch tone landline telephone still works just fine and is familiar.

For what it's worth, Grandma's landline phone did exactly what she needed it to do, and was much more reliable than early iPhones.

Not everybody needs to be as excited about every technological advancement as you are. There have been a lot of great advancements in industrial machining lubrication, but I doubt you insulted people for not giving a shit about those.

Did oldschool lube technicians get like, really really upset about the new lubrication systems?

Some of them might have. I bet any lubricators whose jobs were on the line because of them probably have had some complaints.

Then I'd tell those lube technicians what I'd tell a manual typesetter angry about the invention of the rotary printing press:

Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

I mean synthetic lube is not the same as natural lube, it does different things but fails miserably when overheated and stops becoming lube
