Commenting on another criticism that some of the views raised in the seminar were trivial, Prof. Li said: "One swallow does not make a summer." He added that critics knew little about the seminars and had neglected the fact that in the process of national modernization, new problems continuously emerge and new solutions must be found.
李教授認為，這也是以偏概全、對國建會缺乏充分瞭解的說法。他說，國家在現代化的過程中，不斷會遭遇新的問題，有些是過去不適合談的，現在可以談；過去沒有能力做的，現在能夠做了。
