Comment on Why Science is Failing Usparent

"Making sweeping statements about 'low-hanging fruit' doesn't work."

Sure it does! Extend the analogy a bit by letting the tree be a living thing. That today you picked some fruit doesn't mean that tomorrow a new pear (apple, guava, grapefruit, etc.) won't grow where you harvested.

And when the tree dies, there's always that "making lemonade from lemons" metaphor... (OK, so that's engineering, not science, but it will keep you busy and productive).
