I wasn't thrilled with say Cass Sunstein's ideas when he was appointed by Obama.

Would you expand on this? I was quite impressed with what I read in Nudge. Did any of this practical thinking carry over to OIRA? Or was that perhaps part of the problem?

It's impressive, but falls into the "playing God" bucket for me.

Gotcha. I'll admit I was hoping for more, but I can understand not wanting to get into it in a comment. Can you point me to a critique (your own, or someone else's) of Sunstein that would elaborate on this for me, in particular his work under Obama?
