Just because something may be hard to do, or "that's the way we always have done it", doesn't automatically mean it should not change. Obstructing change for those reasons is foolish. Look at history. Cars replaced horses. Fuel injection replaced carburetors. Computers replaced slide rules. LED bulbs replaced tungsten filament bulbs. Things evolve. People can choose to help, or obstruct. My choice is clear.
Alligators aren't carburetors, slide rules, horses, nor tungsten light bulbs...

Invent a better, safer reptile and we'll talk...
