I am just saying that if your country can be openly evil without having to resort to hypocrisy, the rot in your society is much deeper than if your politicians at least have to pretend to be good.

I'm not saying that justice was served, just that they had to go through that public spectacle of pretending to care, unlike others.

Even the US had big scandals with Abu Ghraib and waterboarding, with big public debates. Even if this was just about public image and hypocritical, not about real values, it shows some capacity for shame.

Though this may be changing now with Trump and the israelification of america.

You just listed some of the most sanctioned countries in the world #1 and #3.

China doesn't have large sanctions because it plays a key role in the economy, but the US had massive regime change intelligence operations against them in the 90s, but they failed and were dismantled.

It certainly works for software, but we may be hitting diminishing returns on software. You may argue it's been a social net negative for a decade.

Does it matter which kids is it? Just remove the metrics, apply the punitive measures fairly, and let the dice fall where they may. Or don't and allow the safety of teachers and the quality of public education to keep degrading. We live in a harsh world and sometimes sacrifices have to be made for a higher cause.

It's not rocket science, certain kids showing up as getting impacted by punitive measures looks bad on certain government measures. So they stop getting punished. Problem solved!

Can the users of the software even keep up at that point? We may have reached diminishing returns on software production, and not enough impact on the rest of the process.
