Control would make sense if governments had a clear, flawless track record of developing software; that state of perfection could be attributed (solely) to a bunch of existing government guidelines and the only problem would be that developers fail to meet those guidelines. We're not there.

The government does not have a clear, flawless track record developing food, nor medicine, still it controls and regulates them for the safety of society. You can't demand absolute knowledge as a pre-requisite of regulations, that's absurd and unachievable. Extremely black-and-white thinking as well.
- pipo234 3y agoThanks for pointing out my exaggeration. You are right, I'll tone it down a little. What I meant to say is that as it stands most governments aren't a shining example when it comes to overseeing their own software efforts.
