Re balanced assessments of electric cars
... why don't we assess the speed, fuel efficiency, refuelling hassles, reliability, etc., of petrol-engined cars in their first few years. Then we can write them off, too, back-to-the-future-style and not waste 100+ years getting them to where they are today. Ditto 'planes.
Unless we have a vested interest in preserving the status quo or are just plain stoopid, of course.
And while we're at it, let's assess computers on the same basis.
Could ENIAC run MS Office? Do graphics? Sound? Linux (for Eadon)? IOSMacDroid? Banking?
No?
Huh! No point in developing them any further, then.
As that famous master of literacy might say:
"COMPUTERS POINT NONE FAIL"
Biting the hand that feeds IT
