Having gatekeepers isn’t so much the problem — there’s stuff almost everyone agrees should be gatekept (and other things that maybe should be even when not everyone agrees).

The problem is that we build these systems where no one seems to want to or have incentive to thin about responsible administration, reasonable feedback, appeal, and accountability. Everybody who can just gets lawyers that work to insulate themselves, sometimes because they don’t give a damn and sometimes because that’s what the incentives of exposure sometimes abused are.
