Our justice systems have evolved over a long time, and thus include many remnants of earlier times when prevailing values were much different than they are today. I'd be wary about giving them the benefit of the doubt.

If you try to do some semi-random change to large body of code that you don't understand, chances are much higher that you break the system than of you making it significantly better.

The same goes for culture. Most changes tend to have unexpected consequences, and if you try to change everything at once, society tends to collapse.
