as long as "trusted" includes "can be replaced easily, if I realize I made a mistake to give him/her trust", yes, that's a big step forward What matters is constant, 2-way communication between the voters and the voted, and and accountability. Some delegation is unavoidable, IMO, for the reasons I've already written. At the same time, leaving experts alone cannot work by definition, just because they ARE specialists/experts. Even IF they are all 100% honest, competent and 100% interchangeable, because sooner or later they lose the big picture. > So the way forward in my opinion is this.

Endless iteration is unavoidable (it's part of life, some would also postulate that it is part of the very _definition_ of life, right?)
