That's fair, but I think that the elimination of mosquitoes might make it easier to develop impoverished nations. Really, I don't know the economics of how the fixed cost of eliminating mosquitoes would compare to the long-term cost of developing the nations in the status quo, so I don't want to speculate too much. You're probably right, though, and then we get to develop the nations, which is really the ultimate goal!
