<question: Should policy lead?> Veep Gore missed the whole point. Government policy is designed by committee, where a concensus is thrashed out like sausage is made. "Important scientific advances" (or any other kind of creative thought or innovation) by definiton means a disagreement by an individual-- disagreement from the consensus, or an unique insight, or a deviation from conventional wisdom. Therefore "important scientific advances" necessarily leads "government policy"--sometimes by a generation. What Mr. Gore doesn't understand is that there is really very little role for him as a government official in the scheme of capitalism and progress. If he regulates a little less, taxes a little less, scares a little less, he would already be doing us a tremendous favor.
