When a system is designed to organize human behavior (as in "governing" it) it has the inherent mistake of being based on the presumption of complete knowledge of human nature (yet who agrees on what that comprises).
Only a philosopher could make such a statement.
A family is such a system, but it is based on no such presumption. Families begin in what is usually a completely mindless activity. And any honest parent of teenage children will admit that he or she is almost totally ignorant of human nature. If the parent doesn't admit it, the child will let the parent know.
only a rhetor could make such a statement. families are not designed. I don't necessarily agree with the original statment. josh
