Yes I know you said {{No Real Examples Please}} since it can be troublesome but just a note around the other side of the coin, not going to nag if it doesn't get but at least think if it fits the trope properly.
I can guess that the reasoning here is a lot like the world of Academics, note this is a personal point of view based on observations on the field which can hit this trope relating to Real Life:
*Real Life
** The world of Academics lives a lot on this trope: Want to publish something, you have to be famous, but to be famous you have to publish something (however you might publish but given you are not famous you won't get recognition, so it is a moot point; except perhaps in the lost money). 
** Also for a new idea to be on the field it has to comply what the older theories have tested and failed horribly but given they are already there the new theory must comply the horribly impossible standard or be {{older than feudalism}}, so it must be old enough to be debunked or pass impossible standards the older theories can't pass just to be tested. Note: Exceptions exist on this case, specially in education.
