People reason daily about what they ought to do and how they ought to do it. Policy developments that establish sets of justifications and rationales that have nothing to do with the cultural content of the policy concerned, but which arise from a deliberate realignment of policy frameworks, establish a form of hyperinstrumentalism. Every social transaction has good or bad consequences depending on prevailing conditions, which may or may not be satisfied.
