Full agreement.
I was an election integrity activist, advocating voter privacy and process transparency. Many bad actors, much bad faith.
I learned to use messaging like "quality assurance" and "preventing errors" in public. Any mention of fraud stops all conversation, triggering pearl clutching and feinting spells (think flopping in professional soccer). The accusations then totally dominate public discourse, obliterating reform efforts.
There's probably some cliche or rule stating reform and justice are mutually exclusive. Certainly abandoning notions of justice lessens the blowback, allowing the more clever perpetrators simply take their profits and wander off to their next grift.
