While that can happen, I think you drastically discount how hard it is for new ideas to enter the mainstream.

How long did it take for something basic like inequality to be considered by economists? It was decades of the Chicago school saying we only need to focus on maximizing growth and that inequality is not worth considering (it'll fix itself, after all). And that's what mainstream journals publish.
