To expand and to give you an example of what I mean by 100% being covered but the quality being low, but 90% being covered by the quality is high, I will use a topic I know very well, education. I work in education and I teach at the college level.
We can offer college education to all. In order to do so we will have to expand classroom sizes, offer more online courses, hire lower quality professors and TAs, create a less personal environment with students and instructors and peers and so on. Is that a high quality education? No. But everyone has it.
Or, we can have a system where less have access, such as say 70% (using a low number). But the quality is high so the vast majority of that 70% are highly educated and skilled now. That grows the economy and society better. Sure you have 30% who are no going to do well, but some of them can break through if one of the 70% offers to charities, offers to help them in some way or so on. But just because we provide something to more people does not mean that is a success. Holding society back by regressing them to the norm is no a win.
