In defense of a computerized government

I am a scientist,but to be a technocrat would put me out of business as a man. Yet I was eighteen months ago, intent on creating a scientific way of governing. And here today, proud of the tools we have made. Why? Because I believe that cybernetics can do the job better than bureaucracy - and more humanely too.

Nothing is guaranteed besides the algorithm. No program can discriminate between real and fake inputs. Unless, of course, the program gets it's feed from various sources. Even then they can be faked (http://www.tgdaily.com/security-features/54714-anonymous-details-operation-metal-gear). Even then, i'm sure is possible to develop countermeasures for false inputs. Banks do that now in financial transactions.
