I'm wonder now if people working in patent offices actually think they're doing something good and are just overworked, while being completely unaware of the evil they're supporting. It sure sounds like you think there's value in it.

The patent office can be sued for not granting but not for granting. So they bias towards granting things they shouldn't and let the courts deal with the mess later.
