people don't get simplicity.
People have two

The most effective,
shame-free policy is maximal transparency, even transparency of intentions.

"we" becomes too large a club, things degrade, and each one starts
fighting for his own interest.

leave their families in Edo as hostages, thus guaranteeing to the authorities
that they would not take positions against the rulers.
The problem is never
the problem; it is how people handle it.
