If we assume the counter-factual conditional; that we can limit the
potential for exposure to bad actors through rule-making (as opposed to
consensus decisions) we're down an incredibly strange wormhole.

If a process describes, how to install people in roles, what the roles
do, and how to remove them if the community concludes that they've
strayed, and that proves to be workable, we're doing pretty good.
