    There’s no real reason you can’t develop both simultaneously. I’m not discounting the need to find a root cause. Of course it would have substantial benefits as you describe. However, sometimes it’s better to make marginal improvements to be able to better help people right now than to wait 20 years until we understand the why’s. Medical breakthrough can take quite a while sometimes (sometimes never).
