To be clear I'm not arguing for or against the merits of any particular policy. I continued with the quota example because that's what started this branch of the thread. I agree the issue is complex, and my one sentence response doesn't do it justice at all.

My point is more that, it should be ok to question current practices; both those propagating societal issues, and those attempting to solve them. Currently on many topics, even slightly questioning the current remedy risks getting one labeled negatively.
