"don't use technology to solve a social problem"

Where does this axiom stem from? A quick google search shows many instances of proclaiming the opposite.

Body cameras on police address a social problem.. If you're talking in absolute terms, such as something being the perfect solution that vanquishes an issue (i.e. a silver bullet) then I think it's a disingenuous stance to take. Social problems aren't solved overnight, and the greatest ones have always required incremental approaches.

This feels akin to saying, "I need code that's 100% bug-free", but in reality, writing bugless code isn't the goal.
