> Wherever we are headed, we are not even close to the steady state

That I agree with, but the messes are already catching up with some early adopters and I've been watching a couple of these up close with the roughly same level of interest that you'd bring to a road accident if you were part of the technical investigation team. It is more than a little interesting to me how the difference between the initial conditions seems to be a fairly good predictor of the outcome. Great teams are doing quite well with this new tech, others, not so much. And great teams were rare to begin with.
