That's absolutely true. Incremental discoveries are definitively the norm and practical approaches to revolutionary tech don't exist. However, it is possible to intentionally focus research efforts on underlooked fields of research that have a large impact. Hype cycles often push research into specific fields and identifying areas where improvements have a high impact can indirectly do a lot of good.
I didn't know that, thanks for pointing that out!
