That's certainly what it's intended to do - and it may succeed in doing so, we shall see.

I'm not arguing against it. But my point is a much wider one about how change can happen, quickly, and the possible unintended consequences of the mechanisms by which that change occurs and problems are supposedly addressed. We simply need to be mindful and vigilant. The aphorism 'the road to hell is paved by good intentions' or the 'law of unintended consequences' come to mind.
