I'm not too familiar with Planck, and I hate to "beat a dead horse", but
when I saw the following in LO91:

I checked my handy-dandy _Bartlett's Familiar Quotations_, and found:
An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by
gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely
happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its
opponents gradually die out and that the growing generation is
familiarized with the idea from the beginning.
