getting the regulation out before the problem happens is better than after

There's this weird effect where preventing a disaster is often invisible, sometimes looks detrimental or a waste of time; but responding to a problem and solving it is visible and will get you acclaim. That creates a cynical incentive to let a problem become visible before combating it so as to avoid the Kassandra effect where nobody believes you until it happens.
