People don't want control so much as those answers you yourself didn't get.
Nothing is more infuriating than not being told why you're being punished, why someone got accepted into a school when you didn't, or why a judge won't consider your appeal.
We can even handle injust answers-- "his parents are alumni that donate a lot of money." That sucks, but it's the answer.
But we can't handle not knowing. Denying people the ability to reason is one of the cruelest things you can do to them. The Amish figured this out centuries ago.
