> Y2K was a real problem

Which only makes it more interesting. There are many takeaways one can have from this article, one of them is that:

- Problem X is serious.

- Y will address problem X

Is incomplete reasoning, or even an outright fallacy. Just because it's claimed that Y will address X doesn't mean it actually will.

Especially on high-stakes issues ("our business will collapse", security, safety) or emotive issues (social justice, security) this type of flawed reasoning seems to be a common problem.
