It's common in a lot of "industries". Ever notice how priests always think we need more god?

If you stop thinking about it as cause->effect, and just as good/bad, it makes sense: tech is good, things are bad, solution: more tech. Things even worse, oh hod, it's worse than I thought, we need even more tech, even faster!
