Of course that sets us up for failure. Only if you define "failure" in the terms specified by the catastrophe crowd. If you look at "failure" the way, say, an economist would, you would get a different result. So, your "of course" is not valid. Problems that are not met head on but delayed become bigger problems. Indeed, but only if you know for sure what the problem is and how to solve it. If you're wrong about that, you might not come out ahead. Look, for example, at the way Bush "solved" the terrorism problem. Had he delayed a bit, analyzed different approaches some more, that problem would not have been so "solved."
