Your point has at least some validity, but your analogy breaks down here. There is no finish line, after which we are "done". So we are running across the country, Mother Nature is a long way ahead of us, but we are hopping on our mountain bike and hoping we can pass her before it all becomes pointless.
Or some smart soul works out "super ultra capacitor batteries" and plugs his helicopter in to them, blowing past us both at several hundred knots. Which, as you point out, is not at all assured.
But we do have to keep trying.
