I don't disagree, but...it is something I've been thinking about. My mother would agree with you entirely. But experience says that nothing, not even scientific advancement, exists in this perfect bubble where society doesn't play a role.

[Way to be a party pooper, Al.]

I don't know what else you do besides keeping one foot inside that perfect bubble and one outside.
