Your proposal suggests that this result is due to lack of knowledge, rather than malice. While I'm a fan of Hanlon's Razor in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the Governor's office clearly employs technologically competent people. That means that the Governor is either persisting despite knowing better, or is remaining deliberately ignorant despite the expertise at his disposal. Either way, this is at least somewhat intentional.

I've got plenty of life experience that proves that people in power who employ technologically competent people often refuse to listen to expert advice because might makes right. You don't have to be malicious to be incompetent.

  Or you don't have to be incompetent to be malicious.

    Right, but if they passed the exam that removes their ability to feign ignorance on the record, leaving malice as the de facto motivation (again on the record)

> Governor's office clearly employs technologically competent people. But you're assuming the Governor would pass the basic test that even shows that he is competent at listening to other competent people.
