I don't think you give someone an A+ for doing 1% of the project really really well.

Like the Nazis were actually environmentalists. They also advanced medical science by decades. Do we praise them for it?

I don't mean to invoke Nazis, but you get my point yeah? If the vast majority of the people who need the treatment cannot get it? That isn't 'both' in my opinion.

The both is america medical pinnacle is a+. American general availability is c-. (Anyone can go to a quality emergency room but won't afford regular care)
