First off this is a great post. You speak from experience and break down the situation beautiful.
I don't believe we can empower bureaucrats to think for themselves and to for 'The People' to accept the higher level of risk that would involve. The reason; government is not by its nature an empowering beast but one that is designed to disempowered the individual. Remember we surrender our power as people who consent to be governed. Therefore we can't then tell those bureaucrats "you need to think more independently!" when they also have given up their power and freedom to be governed. They are automatons because they must be.
