Ok, but authorities vary a whole lot in the ratio of “benefit when a good person wields it” to “danger when a bad person wields it.” And since “never elect a bad person again” is not a thing we can seriously count on, we should probably look at those ratios.

I would posit, for example, that “run a municipal water system” has a very different min/max ratio than, say, “decide who is allowed to publish journalism” or “engage in secret mass surveillance”
