By this metric then leaded gasoline and the Deep water horizon oil spill, and Reagan era deregulations were also transformative, so was the Apollo mission, the SETI program and even Eurovision.

If this the criteria we are using form something being transformative, then being transformative is truly unremarkable in this context, to the point of being a distraction.
