But won't public opinion be formed on what people think is good for the country? If people care about social value demonstrating that it is produced should be effective. It easily seems that you would advocate that only expert or professional opinion should matter and public opinion discarded.
It can be hard to have a water-proof case that some particular act has some particular social value. In practise it is going to be challenged and we need to be able to deal with difference of judgement in regards to what the law is set to. Experts are not unianimous enough to make this problem go away. So the question on who is in a position to uphold that an act is favourable still remains open. |
