No, my background was in mental health/criminal justice.
Okay working that framework you would have some "rule's of thumb" or "expected results" which are simplifications based on a more detailed working of those systems and laws.
I am sure every now and again you will get a situation that your simplification doesn't work and you get a result outside the normal simplified range.
Does the fact your simplification doesn't work mean the original system was wrong?
I guess in your case the outcome might be unjust and you could use that as an argument to try and fix the detailed system.
In our case we don't have "unjust" and you can't just go an patch the detailed system, just so your simplification fantasy works. If the simplification doesn't work, but the full system does then the problem is with your simplification ... fix it
