Maybe the "no" is "no" to a specific accelerated pace. Social technology (assuming it involves human minds) likely has a hard cap on how fast it can move. So the "no" can be "not yet", and I believe it can materially affect outcomes. I think we very often say "not yet". It's one of the main things policy does, even if it disguises itself as "no, never"

Arguably, it tends to lag, but not sure you can leap ahead much before changes are required/the changes to be addressed can be observed at least somewhat (other than just completely changing the social model, perhaps). Then social technologies can actually move quite fast.
