No, the snark is that you're talking about things as is good recordkeeping is some marvelous solution to problems. Where I live the tax agency has no problem having transparent records of everything that happens. And yet tax evasion is an enormous problem. Recordkeeping is not the reason why people evade taxes and why they won't stop. Same thing with a violent police force or corrupt border police.
