I still think that current developments show that Warren Young was  correct.  Reason usually does not work with bureaucrats with an  agenda; they have to be clubbed into submission.  As part of  government, they are tentacles of a coercive order anyway--and they  know it.
  
  So, the question becomes: Is there a politician or a bureaucrat above  the bureaucrats in question who can be gotten to, and who will force  them to change their decision?  If not, the game is lost.
