That seems true for most things EAs fund apart from direct service delivery interventions such as distributing malaria nets.
I.e. it is a valid consideration but it is not a justification to work on surgical instead of systemic interventions in areas where all interventions are operating uncertainly over multi-year indirect theories of change (the majority of what EAs do outside GiveWell-style GHD work).
