Furthermore, it's cheaper, in the short term, for the incompentent individual to push responsibilty up the heirarchy rather than to Become Competent But as we get higher up, the heirarchy grows sparse, and the mycelium-like network that supports competency decays

I'd also suggest that laws will sometimes represent a codification of well-established norms, sometimes a stake-in-the-ground for something where norms vary widely, and sometimes a statement of aspiration for what lawmakers would like norms to be. And you can't always tell which.
