I doubt they are complete incompetents, but they are
politicians. Sometimes people who are interested in a sound-bite or
press-release do things which look, at least in retrospect, as stupid so
they can garner some instant public reaction.
IOW: They may know it will not do any good, but they may do it any way for
a front-page headline. Or at least to look like they are doing something.
At least that is my fear.
