Actually, no, I don't agree with that statement at all. If someone proposes a long-standing pet project of his as a solution to a new crisis, it could be for the reasons stated in that paragraph; or it could be because he really believes his solution was right all along, and the recent crisis proves it; and if we had adopted his solution long ago, maybe the present crisis wouldn't be as bad as it is.
