Of course it's not correct - they're an island - it would have been trivially easy to stop the spread.
Depends crucially on timing Early enough? Sure After some sufficiently-large amount of seeding already occurred? No Too few people grasp this bifurcation and how it affects (should affect!) strategy. This is how we get people saying ‘we (the US) should do what New Zealand did’
Absolutely. The sentence should be "we should *have* done what New Zealand did" - which is entirely different from "should do". It's unsurprising that they can't grasp that it's a different problem Analogy: it's like trying to copy the workout routine of a champion powerlifter
Different circumstances mean identical inputs will give vastly different results.
