- AuthorizedCust 6y agoNo, but it does suggest a step back could be acceptable if it is needed for five steps forward. Progress on the net.
- objektif 6y agoWhy can't all 5 steps be forward or even just 4 steps only forward instead.
- marcus_holmes 6y agothis doesn't make sense logically. If there were 5000 problems, and 4000 of them got solved in the last decade, that would mean everything is demonstrably getting better, yet still leave 1000 problems to be solved. Just because everything isn't perfect, doesn't mean it's not better than it was, and improving.
- ironmagma 6y agoWe are in agreement; I was saying that the fact 4000 of them got solved does not mean that the remaining 1000 don't matter or aren't worth thinking or talking about, or aren't serious problems.
