Hmm..  this is actually an important and interesting concept.

In effect, you've elevated "a technically superior approach" to policy
status, and delegated all of policy to a mere plan for achieving that.

What you've left out is what the technically superior concept 
approaches.

Could you perhaps suggest what it is that could be used to distinguish
between worthwhile and non-worthwhile forms for technical genius?
