We can try, yes. I'm not trying to bash the people in the bureaucracy, really. Most of them really do mean well, even the ones coming up with the policies.
It's just a reality that no policy can cover every situation. When we're going to wind up with a bizzare and clearly unintended outcome like spending $240 more then necessary on a part, a smarter policy would empower people to say "we're going to break the policy because it's in the public good."
That's the part that requires people to be allowed to make a decision.
