Oh, I totally agree that more thought would need to be put into than my drive-by examples. I just object to the common attitude that some policy should be scrapped because of some marginal issue vs. modified to mitigate that issue. Policies need to be evaluated holistically, and if an issue causes one to be scrapped, it should probably be a fundamental one.
