Part of the point of the article is that you probably don't need new technology to create a new _product_.

  Right, for an incremental product for sure. Slack is an incremental product but now is worth billions. Point taken but Slack is not SpaceX.

    Your example of a sector where we can’t use conservative technology to make progress is space travel? ;-) But look, I see your point, but the “counterpoint” doesn’t actually disagree: the point is that a lot of incremental improvements in infrastructure feel transformative, but you get to pay the full cost regardless.
