The effect I'm focused on here isn't designed to distinguish between legitimate complaints, and likely it doesn't. Of course this isn't the only process going on, so we do on average try to make that distinction. I gave two links re farmers vs foragers.

In this system of judgment, how does one determine if a complaint is legitimate? Taken to the extreme, it seems to be a great way of maintaining the status quo, especially if there are legitimate problems with a plan.

Also, I think your argument would be better expressed if you would contrast the point of view of "farmers" and how those differ from "foragers"...
