I couldn't help thinking of V for Vendetta:
But if your ultimate goal is power, how best to use such a weapon? It's at this point in our story that along comes a spider. He's a man seemingly without a conscience, for whom the ends always justify the means
Perhaps such people are in short supply?
Like, even if you wanted both those tasks done, why would you want the same people to do them both? It makes no sense to me at all.
