People are unfairly downvoting you.

I like what the FAA does: they separate fact-finding from policy-making after an aviation accident.

The fact-finding folks make no recommendations on policy. All they do is find the cause of the incident.

Only after they are done do a completely separate group of people address how the problem could be fixed.

In your proposal, scientists would be the fact-finders, and politicians would be the policy-makers.

Is the policy-making group subject matter experts, e.g. aviation engineers, or are they suits?
