It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
Not always. Generally the safest position is where you never would bear it. Like an EPA official that screams, "OH NOES -- there are COWS drinking from these pools where an endangered plant grows!" and bans them, and the plant goes (locally) extinct because being stepped on by a large hooved creature was part of its life cycle -- he's not going to pay the price. Ever.
