Riding the cascade of rigidity to the third horizon
> You can publish competing model standards, and states can choose which one to follow.
Hm, how does that work? Who makes sure that the standard is compliant with the letter of law, and who's accountable if it isn't?
Why does having one or multiple standards change that?
I've pictured Minnesota creating a standard. Then Wyoming decides to use it. When it backfires, can Wyoming shift the blame to Minnesota? If it can't, what's the incentive to adopt it in the first place rather than going down the rigidity cascade?
