You mean this:

> You need to judge over-regulation as it relates to society as a whole.

That doesn't seem to be a heuristic. E.g. "wheelchair ramps are cheap over the lifetime of a building, so it's obvious we should add them" is a good justification of something not being over-regulation - the "bang for buck" heuristic. But the quoted text doesn't contain a heuristic, so we can't judge anything based on it.

The devil is in the details: whose "bang", whose "buck", and who gets the say when the subjective threshold is met?

[robertlagrant]

Yes. Of course. Although you're talking now about the thing I said, and not the much vaguer thing you thought was detailed enough to believe it excluded wheelchair ramps.
