Please. Please let some people with power and influence understand this lesson sooner rather than later. I understand the reasons that's unlikely to occur, but usually the impact isn't quite so drastic and expensive as this is. Just because something is new and shiny doesn't mean that it'll produce the outcomes you need at the other end, and until it's shown that capability your approach to it should be MODERATE.
It's also worth mentioning that drug development timelines typically exceed the interval in which these technologies have been available (or at least effective). Measuring impact will take a long time.
A National Treasure, on the other hand - they enrich life without being a vector for tribalism (eg:Michael Kramer/Kate Reading).
No? Well fancy that! :)
