You have already assumed that “judges” are somehow better suited to make such decisions than “regular people”, even though they are simply cogs in the wheels of social machines, and will mostly automatically approve anything up to mass murders if “general direction” of the society is like that. But it's convenient for you to believe that they have certain qualities.

Needless to say, when people are so brainwashed that they are ready to pray to actual machines, decisions of those machines won't be questioned. It would just be inconvenient.
