People don't like change and uncertainty. Freedom and lack of dogma and challenge are all very well, as long as they're going your way. But when everyone else's freedom clashes with yours, regularly, and arguments erupt because there's no solid agreement on your tenets, and when you get continually frustrated by unexpected challenges ... fossilisation starts to look appealling.
