And yet, counterintuitively, these discontinuities don't lead to discontinuities, because it is invariably the case that the first prototype is not dramatically more useful than what came before -- often less so -- and requires many rounds of debugging and improvement before the new technology can fulfill its potential.
Arguably, you can call the whole process of development "planning", and look only at the final product. So, your argument seems to depend on an arbitrarily chosen line between cognitive work and effects that are to be judged for "discontinuity".
