This assumes the problem is a binary. Either we are fucked or not fucked. When in fact it's a gradient of more and more fucked that goes on indefinitely making us more fucked the longer we take to deal with it.

The problem very much is binary. Ocne you have a self sustaining feedback loop going it's game over.

Its a gradient until it isn't.
