Corruption and collusion --- Thank you for your detailed answer! Your last point, regarding corruption, is actually very valid, I believe. Often, when discussing the challenges of evidence-based policy, we emphasise other structural challenges and omit corruption/collusion as strong forces against the use of evidence/reason. It is important to remind ourselves, here, that they exist in all political systems and thus should not be discarded!
