Would Wegener have been more or less successful in convincing scientists today than he was when he proposed his ideas? Why or why not?

I believe Alfred Wegener would be much more succesful today.

Alfred wegener presented his continental drift hypothesis in 1912, and his idea was dismissed back then (he died in 1930s.)

But after entering 1950s, many scientists started to accepted the idea of the continental drift, which means that the scientific community just only accepted his idea 20 years after his death.
