Actually, this is the case with any kind of process. Sound judgement and taste have to be applied in any kind of process or it just becomes mindless paper pushing. Bureaucracies always are in danger of valuing process over judgement and that is the way they become ineffective, stupid, and soul crushing. I kind of like the saying that comes with the Japanese martial arts. It says 'everything depends on the quality of the individual'. That really is a very important truth that one can never forget or the results will not be pretty.
