If you "went looking for" this line, you're just reading into the statements your preconceptions.

I on the other hand have no expectation, and so it's not clear whether the "bureaucracy fighting itself" is a cause or a symptom. You're implying it's a cause and the solution is "less red tape". But it could be just a symptom of conflicts of interest, and less red tape just leads to more efficient corruption.

Again, you're just reading into it what you already believe in.
