Yes, it is a big problem
But unlike some problems it seems to be solvable. In some situations the problem is so complex you can't decide how to use resources or even whether resources will help.
In this case the resources are costly but available, the goal is clear and the results are so plainly desirable, there should be no hesitation to do whatever is necessary. Failure is not an option so the dollar cost must not be a consideration.
A lack of willingness to follow through is the only thing that could convince me that we shouldn't have gone there in the first place.
For now, I remain patient.
