[quote user="Murphy Siding"]Well,  I guess, if we can agree that t the problem we're *fixing* has now drifted from *fixing* the problem, to simply being able to determine who is prone to have the problem, well then, yes- the problem has been solved.  It kind of reminds me of the phase "that depends on what the definition of *is* is".[/quote] A company has a problem of an employee who comes to work drunk every day.  They fire the employee, but he still gets drunk every day.  Did the employer fix their problem?  Yes.  Did they fix the fired employee’s problem?  No.  The problem I am talking about is clearly stated in the context of my prediction from a year ago.  Nothing has drifted, as you say.  It is indeed the problem of finding out who has SWSD and who does not.  That is the railroad industry’s problem, and that is the problem I predicted would be solved by a technological device.  I mentioned that once an employee is found to have SWSD, he or she can be either treated successfully or reassigned to non-hazardous duty.  It is 100% clear what I was talking about a year ago if you look at a couple posts that go beyond simply using the word, “problem.”     Unlike the guy who shows up drunk every day, there is no way to eliminate people having SWSD because it shows no outward signs.  The diagnosis is somewhat subjective and complex.  The SmartCap replaces that complex diagnosis with a technological monitoring of drowsiness that can directly and objectively lead to a diagnosis.  Of course, it is not going to cure SWSD.  I never said it would.  I never once mentioned any method of curing SWSD or made any prediction about it.  Both diagnosis and cure are problems.  I was talking about the problem of diagnosis.  But you keep insisting that diagnosis is not a problem, and that the only problem is the cure.  And because you believe that the only problem is finding the cure, you are forced to believe that when I predicted a solution to the problem, I had to be referring to curing SWSD.
