Perhaps we should just leave it at "there are humans that can do incredible things, but most humans just sit around and argue about who should be allowed to do incredible things, who should be allowed to allow these things, and who should get credit for those things if they ever happen to get done."

In that context, the technical wizardry isn't the miracle, the miracle is that the stupid monkeys could cooperate long enough to actually get it done.

haha, nice! yes the great Louis C.K. routine. "You're sitting in chair. But it's thousands of feet in the air and hurtling along at hundreds of miles an hour but you're perfectly safe. Yet we complain about the taste of the coffee not being just right." to summarize.

There's a certain kind of person that's drawn to politics and usually they are not the enterprising productive type.
