I don't think it's a good idea to view 'the Government' as a monolithic entity.
A local, elected DA could get super popular taking these experts to court over perjury concerns. That DA has no involvement in the social security process or agency at all.

- NikolaNovak 4y agoI spent majority of my career implementing ERPs for commercial companies. Then I helped implement one for Canadian government and was shocked (in my previous ignorance) how much more accurate and pragmatic it was to think of it not as "I'm implementing system for various departments in a single large organization" and more like "I'm implementing a single erp for Walmart, air Canada, Canadian tire, Costco, Ontario hydro, Toronto raptors, and 100 other companies with various systems, standards, processes, Interfaces, versions, data, speeds, attitudes, cultures and relationships". It reminds me of similar revelation when I realized that judge is not necessarily in cahoots with police, and in fact may be very humanly annoyed or persnickety with them. Humans are humans and relationships are infinitely complex.
