Jeez, well, isn't that better than nothing? And, it might buy us some more time to come up with/develop a more sustainable solution or two.
I just don't want us to become so obsessed with a mythical "perfect solution" that we end up doing nothing at all. Fiddling around while a crisis builds is bad enough, let's not continue to waste time now that the crisis is here.
