Personnel
gollark: The purpose written down somewhere doesn't really matter if people with different preferences try and shape it in their way, or if it doesn't actually work well at satisfying that purpose.
gollark: There are those who'd say it should be to punish criminals, or who say it's just the state enforcing its power.
gollark: Also, I don't think people agree on that being the point.
gollark: It can't be effective at that if people can just work around *it* when they want to.
gollark: Perfect robustness is probably not practical in human social infrastructure but it can at least be better.
