I'm always skeptical of arguments that go along the lines of "It would be so easy, if only we did the right thing".

The truth tends to be that:

* It wouldn't be so easy, even if we did the right thing.

* Doing the right thing is actually the hard part.

* What you think is the right thing isn't actually the right thing.

Most systems in place today are there for a reason. Organizations that do the wrong thing tend not to survive for a very long time.
