But they didn’t say that though?

They pointed out those countries also have jails/prisons that detain people against their will. That isn’t the same as saying the systems are identical.

I feel like every week we hear about some huge breakthrough that is supposed to revolutionize clean drinking water technology and save the world, but nothing ever comes of it.

I know this stuff takes time to develop, and not every idea is going to work, but it would be nice if one of these things actually did pan out and start being useful to solve our drinking water issues.
