Not just elected officials, I'll also include in police officers, judges, juries, and, really, pretty much all members of the public in the list of people who would greatly benefit from such an experience.

I see a clear pattern here, and it is the loss of once common coming-of-age ritual.

You might add other modern suggestions in that spirit:

No Meat until you slaughter an animal yourself.

No pepper spray unless you try it yourself.

Spend a week living in the 'retirement community' before dumping those you claim to love there.

Etc. Basically dogfooding as gatekeeping.
