I think a good analogy in this is the development of the dvorak keyboard over the almost universally used qwerky keyboard layout.

I say this because the qwerky keyboard, although not as effective as the dvorak, is so common that it's basically impossible to change.Certianly no major organization would change to dvorak, either designers or users.

This is why the Navy uses speed reading instead of photoreading.It's close to the norm, so they feel comfortable with it, even though it's ineffective and unnatural.
