Maybe not frozen, but certainly extremely sluggish. It demonstrates the inertia against acknowledging the errors. Reisner's story about Hetepheres went unchallenged for 60 years before Lehner spoke up about it. There was no new discovery that made Lehner speak up. It was simply Lehner's additional scrutiny that revealed the logical flaws.

Again, the complaint isn't about being wrong. It's about being wrong and resisting the challenge to prove it's correct in the first place.
