I'm fine with government run by people.
Giving some people a lot of discretionary power of others does worry me a lot. It might well be unavoidable sometimes, but it's really naive to not see the potential for abuse.
The calculation needs to be "if this agency is run by the usual corruptible and imperfect people like you and me, will it be a net gain for society?", rather than the "assume a selfless set of civic minded experts..." mindset I think a lot of people have.
