This is a possibility, admittedly my evidence doesn’t say much about the old state of the field. If so I think that would be a good reason for optimism, so I kind of hope you’re right.

The Belmont Report is too strict even as intended for instance, but I think a great deal of its harm comes from the vagueness of the guidelines it inspired.
