While a diverse set of algorithms working together can produce a great outcome, innovating on such a complex system can be difficult. Because of time travel, we could also build the new model based on the data available at that time so as to get us as close as possible to the unobserved counterfactual page that the new model would have shown.

Rather than understanding the disruption phenomenon through the lens of change that has already happened, it is worth looking at the change that has not happened but should have given the availability of technology to bring it about.
