Usually the rule with a title that ends in a question mark is that the answer is no. In this case "not close" seems to be the answer. Rest assured, it's way more complicated and there are a lot more problems to tackle than just aligning ECMs.

That being said, I love this sort of thing so much. Maybe one day my grandkids might be saved by this.

Betteridge's law; I love this sort of thing too, though I hope it comes sooner and humanity/society breaks new ground in science at a more rapid clip (compared to the morass many believe we are currently in)

Well we kinda picked all the low hanging fruit over the last 150 years. Each technological advancement seems exponentially more expensive.
