Nothing more fun than spending hours putting together dilemma combos only for my opponent to drop pre-errata Q or Senior Staff Meeting, or whatever else, right? That makes the game fun. /sarc.
That said, in my peak 1e days some of my favorite moments were when my opponent would play scan or full planet scan, look at my combo, and promptly go "Oh. Shit." Even seeing what was there they didn't have a clean way through. That was just fun.
And I'm not so sure it is a false statement in the here and now. How many of those cards have been errataed or banned? Overcoming dilemmas in the pursuit of solving missions absolutely is the core of this game, and any cards that have gone against that premise have made the game worse.
I'll spare the 1e folks my 2e response but I have a few thoughts there too.

The game is not about facing dilemmas and it is only about solving missions. That's why the dozens of cards that allow you to avoid dilemmas across 1E and 2E exist.
