Okay, number one, that's not actually an answer. I'll accept it as one, but it isn't.
Number two . . . William Harvey did the work. He didn't just expect people to overthrow thousands of years' worth of belief. He provided evidence. Further, he didn't expect time on a message board to change science. He didn't think that blathering on, and on, and on in one place was actually going to accomplish something. They didn't have peer review per se in the 17th Century, but he went through the closest process they had.
Number three, you're missing my point. Yeah. Discussion
here is limited to 30 days, and thank Gods for that. However,
science as a whole eventually accepted his ideas, and within his own lifetime. So much for "science never accepts new ideas." If it doesn't accept
yours, the more likely options are that you haven't provided enough evidence, you haven't done enough work, or you're wrong.
