The most astonishing thing is that people actually believe that crap.

That the solution to people making mistakes is taking away any power to do anything substantial on their own. No power to do anything == no power to do any damage.

Think how a machine shop would work if we applied the same rules. "No, you can't use CNC machine because somebody broke an expensive part once. You need to fill this form, prepare this feasibility study and wait for director approval for every change to the program. Of course, director has absolutely no knowledge to validate your CNC routine but this is the process."

I worked for those organizations, just left one. You get hundreds of people do work that couple smart engineers without artificial limitations could do in a fraction of time.

Unless the CNC machine is the entire business, breaking a part isn't an outage. It's just an financially expensive mistake. On the other hand, if you have a building running life-support machines, you probably don't want someone messing with the breaker box that connects to them without designing some protections and backups.
