gollark: Systems have no intentions. People in them might, and the designers probably did, and the designers also likely claimed some intention, and people also probably ascribe some to them. But that doesn't mean that the system itself "wants" to do any of those.

gollark: I think you could reasonably argue that it's better to respect institutions than ignore them because it's better for social cohesion/stability, but I don't agree that you should respect them because they're meant to be fair and because you can always get them to fix problems you experience if this isn't actually true.

gollark: If the fire extinguisher actually explodes when used to put out fires, it would be a bad fire extinguisher even if the designers talk about how good it is and how many fires it can remove.

gollark: We should be evaluating it on how well it does what we want it to, not how well the designers *claim it does*.

gollark: Oh, right.
