In academic fields, it is disturbingly common for entire fields to be in thrall to a misconception, to their detriment, for decades.
Right, but... a weakness of academia is that too often ideas aren’t expected to pay their own rent
Shots fired 
Well, yes, those shots are richly deserved. But I don't think that's actually the reason fields get stuck in misconceptions.
I suspect this varies a lot by field? But you shouldn’t expect bad ideas to last long under conditions where the more that rests on them, the greater the *literal* bounty on a correction. And you should expect them to live long where there’s no bounty, only a guillotine
As much as I enjoy academia bashing, there are bounties there too. They might not take the form of cash but there are people who'd work tirelessly to be recognised for correcting a particular misconception. And there are other bounties too.
