#. Most likely, our society could be considerably better
if the right changes were made.
#. Our society could be much worse; many societies are much worse.
Therefore, it should not be lightly tampered with.
#. No-one at present understands well the effects of social
changes - especially large changes.
#. Changes should be made experimentally if possible in a limited
area. Slow change is preferable to rapid change. Social science
should be studied.
#. The conclusions of present day social scientists about the
effects of changes are far from certain.
