Possibly up to 700 false convictions because of this woman running bullshit software that she didn't understand :

"There were more than 700 prosecutions based on Horizon evidence. The commission and the Post Office are asking anyone else who believes their conviction to be unsafe to come forward."

This is the entirety of the argument for small government.

The final authority should have the least authority necessary. Just enough, and absolutely no more.
