No, you're going to far. "Doing nothing is not an option", means "don't wait for a perfect solution." "Doing nothing at all" is rarely "just as effective" as an imperfect solution, at least when it comes to the problem under discussion.
It's also worth noting there are frequently people who benefit from certain problems or who are otherwise uninterested in solving them for selfish reasons. Those people really like to push the "do nothing" option.
- zdragnar 3y agoThis has been done before elsewhere, and it was exactly as effective as doing nothing. I'm not much for gambling, but I'd put money on this attempt ending the same way. It's a mindset that is action-biased. Results don't matter, being seen to be doing things is what matters, apparently.
