That does not, however, prevent them from defining ongoing and
even expanding research programs, since iterative solutions
to "local problems"
can give the false appearance of progress toward an
*overall* successful resolution, when it really is only
getting further sucked into the hopeless endeavor. Wrong-headedness
is far more dangerous than just being wrong.
