340 million souls and an arsenal of nuclear arms warrants a more critical examination of what went wrong than "guess we'll see."
You just tried to rephrase exactly what I said was the problem as if it's some noble flaw, no, being designed to rely on everyone acting in good faith is stupidity and naivete at its most blatant.
Not even because I'm a cynic who believes people are inherently self interested or whatever the fuck, because they act self interestedly often enough that building a major government system around presumption of good faith is a sign that you are a complete moron who doesn't understand how anything actually works.
