my mind that it's not that the world has a stiff opposition to innovations, it's just the fact that on an experimental heroquest you don't know what to expect <snip>

I understand your point, and I agree ... mostly. Ignorance and fear of the unknown is the biggest barrier. On the other hand, I don't think you can scale the stats of hero plane critters in an objective manner.

Consider the Hill of Gold heroquest for a second. Orlanth fights Zorak Zoran to a draw. Are your questing Orlanthi heroes tough enough to fight an objectively statted berzerk war god? If so, what dangers could the rest of the hero plane pose?
