Almost the same lament could have been written in the 1990s in nostalgia for the glory days of the 1960s.

I was neither idealizing nor being nostalgically "lamenting", but thanks for the negativity. I was merely pointing out the differences in how "the getting results in X" has moved up the stack.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be negative.

Yes, things have moved up the stack. And so have they done in the 30 years before the 90s, too.
