+Random could result in consequences (which could be unintended, or unfortunate).  May not be able to determine consequences.
+Results tend to be analytically understandable, consequences tend to be systemic (and generally scary).  People will avoid talking about consequences.
+Analytic solutions in search of systemic problems.
+Sins of omission are not evil?  Only since of commission are evil?
+For the Greeks, good governance allowed the option of choice, even if it wasn't taken.  Shutting down choices causes uprisings.
+Representation versus direct democracy (e.g. American governance c.f. Swiss governance)
