I think it works well for policy. The way I handle it is to keep a running tally of things to fix should the opportunity present itself. A lot of my thoughts work like a partially completed checklist in this manner.
“This economic theory works really well, and we’re generally happy with it; it’s the best we’ve got at the moment. It has these problems {1, 2, 3}, which we would like to patch, but don’t have solutions for. At some point, if we do come up with a patch, or an entirely new system which we can prove works better, we’ll go with that instead.”
One has to keep the unchecked boxes in mind when consulting new solutions, or the problems last forever.
