No problem, you are entitled your opinion and free to think the way you think, it is a valid point.
However, no matter how good your intentions are, it doesn't means the system will work. There are plenty of examples of how it fails (both historically and nowadays).
The intentions are good... the results not always.
Definitely true but I'm not sure that absolves us of designing and maintaining effective systems when there is a need for them. I believe this example of environmental regulation fits this case and there is a lot of historical and contemporary evidence to support this.
