In other words, if you just rant that what you think is the right thing, you will never change anyone's mind.
So, the one who has to change is you.
If you are convinced that your proposal is right, you will have to exploit the ”wrong rule” to get the ”right answer” accepted.
All it takes is a coat of paint and you can camouflage it into an opinion with which everyone will agree.
Thus, without distorting the essence, you will be able to get your proposal accepted.

Because these will hate you when you succeed.
They will hate you because you are the symbol of their failure.
