An awful lots of apparently useless bureaucracy exists because many people, left to themselves, are often very, very stupid.

Bureaucracy certainly stops smart people from doing the right thing, but more often, it stops stupid people from doing the wrong thing. Hack away at bureaucracy at your peril.
