   Let's look at what you are saying: "the correct design solution" is  
actually your correct design solution because you are supposing two  
systems. So, this might be better called "a design system" and that  
design system is considering a social infrastructure for people who  
are free and choose between minimalist government and  
anarcho-capitalism as variables.

   Micromanaging is a behavioral approach to managing others, and not  
a pleasant or healthy characteristic. 

   Design is a process that finds solutions for specific situations.
