You can still blame the solutions for their problems while acknowledging that they exist to solve another problem...

History shows we need regulation of medical trials.

We can and should continually improve the system of regulation we have in place.

We must not throw out the system completely, as that will likely result in a regression to previous behaviors and outcomes (which we've already determined were wrong).

This site heavily skews towards progressive ideology and has a lot of trouble with the idea of government being anything less than the solution everything. (Of course this only holds true when their favorite person is running it. As soon as the other guy runs it, the world is moments from ending.) You can see it first-hand by scrolling through my comment history. Rarely does anyone attempt to engage directly with any of the dissenting points, despite most of them being as old as War and Peace. The only tool available to them is perverting the voting system with downvote brigades and flagging.

When alternative approaches are suggested, they're met with a mindless regurgitation of emotionally charged rhetoric rather than a careful thought and reason. Their narcissism allows them dismiss anyone that even slightly disagrees with their approach. Those broadcasting alternative points of view are demonized and viciously attacked with the same oppressive tactics employed by the Sturmabteilung. The only saving grace here is ignoring reality is very costly. Eventually the payments are going to come due and the Schadenfreude is going to be very satisfying.
