Three stages of truth

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." - Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)
I would add that the third stage is boring and un-interesting.
OK, this is not exactly Calculus but there is so much silence in calc-reform... And we can always relate it to the history of sqrt(2)... Anyone else?
