Fair enough.<p>It&#x27;s not like there haven&#x27;t been regulations that cause more harm than good, though--for instance, regulations on pollution that only apply to <i>new</i> powerplants, leaving old ones untouched.<p>Libertarianism treats regulation like engineering: Simpler is better, and the ideal solution is the simplest; complicated solutions add more points of failure, which leads to a more broken result.
