Larry, I believe that you are right, on an individual basis. But unfortunately, individuals usually work for an army and they are forced to follow their orders.

Now..if you had a situation where the winning army was absolutely soooo superior to the losers..kind of like the Romans, and say, the Vulkans..then the superior technology would so overwhelm the others that they would blindly obey and the benevolent despot victors could do what you are saying and institutionalize the changes by stayoing in power until everyone who remembered the "old ways" was dead, and there would only be the "new ways."

It only happens in sci-fi, thus far anyway.

Ever see the movie "" Zardoz "" with Sean Connery? I recommend it.
