> It seems we have run this long enough to prove that, yes, it is possible to run this system without apparent abuse. Careful extrapolating successes/failures across cultures.

It's less about their innate humanness and more about the societal structures in which they live and justified/unjustified faith (or lack of) in institutions and oversight bodies.
