I principally agree, but the analogy from the excerpt you quote represents a chicken-and-egg problem. Where did the medical experts come from? Every tried-and-tested medication was once a new, experimental treatment. Every doctor was once a quack without medical training (the analogy starts hinging here, but I hope you get what I'm trying to convey). So yeah, it's most likely a better idea to use a battle-hardened approach in crypto in most cases, but that shouldn't become a fundamental stance opposing anything new because, well, it's new.
