    It’s standard research paper language. It is motivating the purpose for investigating liquid gears and in no ways implies liquid gears are problem free.

    The iterative steps of research involves addressing these challenges bit by bit until the last one is “solved”. It could be interesting to have many regular problems of standard gears a non-issue and only have to solve for the torque, the only thing remaining would be to see how much of a problem it is to solve. It could lead to niche applications too, not necessarily replace all existing gears everywhere.
