I think you can simplify that further: If you look at history, change which is not backwards is always good. There are fluctuations up and down, but the trend has always been for the better.

And yet at every point in history, most believed that change would be bad-- in fact, maybe we need to move backwards a little.

I understand what you're saying.

But what about people who have always believed change would be bad, and then been proven right on many occasions? We don't hear too much about people who predicted a negative outcome and when it came about, received just as much attention.
