IMHO that's true for a completely other reason as well: the task of 
educating people does not stop with the mainstream.  In order to be able 
to choose from different options you'll have to know them.  So this 
knowledge is not only necessary for transforming the industry but even 
for working successfully within it.  My 0.02...
