History is littered with examples of policy creating unintended consequences causing more harm than good. Or at least negating the early good it created over time. It’s usually fine at the start until cracks start to show and policies are often a one way street, that only get reformed many years after the problems become apparent, if at all.

The answer isn't to abandon policy, it's to design it to be flexible and to respond quickly when problems are discovered.
