That's like saying that the maglev trains can't be innovative because  
they link preexisting train stations. What's innovative about maglev  
is that it allows trains to achieve higher velocity through the use of  
innovative technology. That argument could be made for Rails. The  
trains ran before ... they just run faster now (or maybe they get  
built faster, or fail less often, or ...).
