The symphony plays without a conductor. We&#x27;re talking about a system that presents a particular set of incentives to parties with particular motivations. They can work perfectly well in concert without resorting to secret cabal meetings. In law enforcement more than most other professions, those who do something different are punished for it. That&#x27;s all it takes for LEO practice to be trapped in some truly sub-optimal local maxima, such as that under consideration here.<p>Hanlon&#x27;s Razor is bullshit, by the way.
