Such a fatalistic view of human understanding helps no one.

"couldn't" is past tense. The GP clearly expects/hopes there's a quick remedy here, and your reasoning about "can't" in the present tense (and implied continuing future tense) doesn't hold.

Present with extra steps doesn't entice me.

How about you come up with something else other than "-ism", then we'll talk (maybe).
