I think you might be responding to something I didn't write. I was trying to draw attention to the distinction between triage and the projects that go into triage versus work that addresses issues systematically. The GP's comment correctly noted that the idea under discussion doesn't necessarily address the systematic problem at hand, which is true, but that doesn't mean that triage is not valuable. I also specifically said that the proposed bubbles in space idea may or may not be viable; it's irrelevant to the point I was making.

A "triage" response that makes the situation strictly worse is no triage at all. It is just more harm piled on top.

Right, well, like I said the merits of this particular idea are outside the scope of what I was trying to get at.
