Multiple issues
[edit]This article has multiple issues:
- Both given references are merely examples.
- Most of the text seem to be essay-like extrapolation, speculation and original research.
- Is this term really used to a notably degree? I made several searches with google, and I am not really convinced: Its field of use seems to be very narrow, and somehow it seems to be used mostly as slogans in slogan-heavy books, not in real-life.
- The wording is not appropriate. Generally it is essay-like. Also it uses strange jargon ("control others via fiat").
- Context and scope are not clear. The first paragraph is rather confusing than explaining.
Following up to one of Tomdo08's points, is this any different from red tape? And if so, does the difference warrant having 2 different articles? --Chealer (talk) 02:39, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
