That may be the case, but the reason I used that analogy is to demonstrate a situation where going at a slower pace is favorable. Life as a whole isn't bound by a simplistic, binary set of rules, and what rules we instate in society are by and large a construct of our own, collective opinions.

Like, the main reason I'm even having this talk with you is to break you out of that line of thinking, because it promotes oversimplification and generally works against critical thinking. I might be going extreme in my next example, here, but someone can easily say that homosexuality is "bad" and use that as an excuse for a group of people not to change. Thank goodness someone actually challenged that idea in human history, otherwise we would be completely skirting over an aspect of reality to this day.
