I think you're absolutely right...and it's also the idea that what is latest is best despite the fact that we haven't had time to work out the consequences/side effects of whatever the latest car, technology, chemical, weapon is - let alone time to sort them out or minimise them, so this new thing really IS a good thing, on the whole. I just wish that we, as a planet, could learn to wait and look before we leap...*sigh*
