"organisations and lobby groups which appear to see and value regulation for its own sake"

It's simpler than that. The 'creative types' (the 'right brainers') - such as those that 'can do' can make complex value judgements 'on the fly' and react rapidly to changing situations.

The "B graders" (the 'left brainers') - see Douglas Adams in HHGTTG where he mentions the entire ship full of "B graders" - telephone sanitisers, etc that were bundled off to 'prepare the way' for the 'settlers' - as a convenient way of disposing of them out of 'normal society' - NEED that apparently 'simple list of rules' to (whatever they substitute for...) 'think' with, and get frightened when dealing with the 'creative types', whose intuitive and convoluted thought processes they cannot comprehend. they tend to flock together in such "organisations and lobby groups", funnily enough, as then they don't NEED TO THINK INDIVIDUALLY.
