True. Tho' I believe the arc of the point is...a system based on humans and human nature is subject to a wide range of questionable behaviours.

Just recently there was a judge - was it judges? - found guilty of sending kids to prison based on kickbacks received from the prison. And that, pardon the cliche, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Human behavior is both predictable and yet often bizarre.

But is it just the tip of the iceberg? Or are these things highly publicized when they happen because they are rare?

Humans - you and me included - are far from perfect. A title or position does little to alter that. In fact, title and status breeds overconfidence and additional biases.

I'm not a cynical, simply realistic. We don't know about a fraction of the shit that goes down.
