There's a reason why politicians and the pedagogic establishment keep churning out these lists of new 'how to fix it' plans, ... It's because they don't dare speak about the central point.

It's easier to fix the plays at the end because they are one-shot deals. What got us 13 down is a little bit harder to fix. I'd have disappointed if it went from 13 to 20. The fact that it went from 13 to two, that's a positive.
