And... when dealing with humans - policies are often not enacted like we thought they would be in our head's under ideal conditions.

Policies are implemented by politicians and government drones, are beholden to budgets and meandering political sentiment of the population, etc. ie - they will never be implemented "correctly" - so we should pick the policies that are the hardest to get wrong and/or have the least negative side effects.
