When an economic resource, aka money, is not yours, you don’t spend (allocate) it very carefully. This money can be obtained by criminal stock operators, slick cons, foolish theories, @ etc. Amounts collected by conning and mistaken beliefs are insignificant compared to those collected by coercion. Trickery is self-limiting because people usually don’t go for the same con twice. Coercion lasts forever.
I put forth the following hypothesis: When money is extracted by coercion, 1) Advertised results will not occur, 2) INTEND will be pumped out of all possibility of recognition using all the tricks of necessity, morality and practicality, 3) IS will be pumped out of all recognition and the waste, incompetence and sheer silliness hidden and renamed. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. and, 3) DOES will not occur, but every attempt will be made to obscure, lie, obfuscate and pretend. In spite of great hostility to real accomplishment, governments attempt to mimic the best of free enterprise in terms of cost and effectiveness. They never succeed, but they masquerade really sincerely.
