But it's not a solution to a problem. It's a solution to a symptom. We do this all the time and then wonder why we waste so much time revisiting things. Or. You can "accept" NN in the short term knowing it's going to cause a negative reaction in the market. That tension will build, the market will become more aware, and then demand the problem be addressed and solved. The point is, the current solution being proposed by so many actual keep the powerful status quo intact. They win either way. Is that a win for the rest of us? I think not.
