This is my problem with the “A bus. You have invented a bus.” meme, basically every time it is deployed. Many innovations worth doing were incremental innovations and they happened because someone put in the effing work. We should prefer not cutting down folks doing the work.https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1106494920838152192 …

(Seriously the tech industry needs to fund a hundred Social Networks that glamorize e.g. factory line optimization, applied research, developer tool chain maintenance, etc. I am dead serious: there’s a number that makes the next Peter Parker drink Coke or be in network ops.)

On the other hand, by comparing it to existing technology/infrastructure, those willing to put in the work can better assess both its value and its flaws, especially compared to simply putting the same funding into the existing network.

e.g. Once you see the hyperloop or the connecto-cars or "SmartDrive8.2" as equivalent to a bus, you can assess: 1) What the equivalent amount of money in taxes would do to the state/national transport system. 2) What distinguishes it from a bus that makes it worth doing.

I probably disagree abt the non wide acceptance part. I actually think USA cultural DNA is a main reason why USA tends to produce disruptive innovation. A opposite example where incremental innovation thrives would be, say, Germany
