You have to wonder how many billions of tax $$$ have been spent on solving problems that might not really be problems.
And many more billions on "solutions" that don't work or create bigger problems than they were intended to solve.
All government programs should be reqired to run scientifficaly controlled pilot testing before National or State wide roll out.
This case shows how difficult that can be. Of course many government programs are not based on research at all and many more on at most one flaky test. All that matters is to tell a good story.
