Lots of confusion between “every great new technology was initially resisted” and “every technology that is initially resisted will be great.” Leaded gasoline was once a great technology. It was never a great technology. It was a technology that we didn't understand as well as we thought we did. Sounds like I hit the metaphor rightly. Wasn't even the only known way to improve the octane rating of gasoline at the time, just a lot cheaper than the other options No, it was understood very well from the beginning. Especially after the inventor died from lead poisoning.
