The problem doesn't even exist yet. It's a potential problem. We are speculating on potential solutions to a potential problem. There are an infinite number of potential problems. I think it's a waste to start solving them until it becomes abundantly clear there is a problem.
Pessimism isn't science either.

I don't see science happening at any level here.
