I view ‘conservatism’ as a failure to develop a solution, so acting defensively, and limiting the negative consequences. I view progressivism as a failure to develop a solution, so acting opportunistically and externalizing the consequences. THe problem is, in both cases: ‘why can’t we solve the problem’. And the answer is usually that there is no way to (cost effectively) create the records or information necessary to provide decidability. IMHO there is very little reason today for informational inadequacy or asymmetry.
