I really like the discussions of the problems, but I would have loved to see more discussions of the solutions. How do we know, more specifically, that they will solve things? What are the obstacles to putting them into effect -- why, more specifically, do people just not want to do it? I assume it's something a bit more complex than a bunch of people going around saying "Yeah, I know science is flawed, but I don't really feel like fixing it." (Or maybe it isn't?)
