Buenas tardes. Les agradeceré vuestra ayuda con esta frase. Entiendo lo que quiere decir pero no encuentro las palabras adecuadas:
We have had too many disappointments in the past to **mistake the seed of feasibility** (shown by the present paper) for the fruit of effectiveness (which requires large numbers, multicenter experience, and mature technology).
¿No perdernos la posibilidad de algo factible en la búsqueda de algo efectivo?
Muchas gracias.

confundir la viabilidad
"En el pasado hemos experimentado demasiadas desilusiones COMO PARA confundir la viabilidad (como lo ilustra este trabajo) con la efectividad"
Es un texto médico, pero aquí está haciendo uso de un recurso literario. Entiendo que el/los autores proponen no cometer el error de creer que algo "viable/factible/posible" es lo mismo que algo "efectivo".

Discussion
They're saying that the "potential" feasibility is not the same as the final result, outcome or effect -- which will require the numbers, experience and technology. The project/treatment/proposal [whatever this article is about] is feasible, but much has to be done to bring it to "fruition" (realizarlo). And that it would be a "mistake" to think that the seed/potential and the fruit/realization are the same.
Espero que esta aclaración te sirva para encontrar la mejor forma de decirlo en español :)
