This is starting to sound like some kind of monarchist apology -- "the King always makes the best possible decision, but sometimes his flawed underlings provide him with bad reports".

Does it matter? Either way, the result is the same. If he's not setting the policy, he's explicitly supporting it.

Seems like he's supporting idiots who don't think things through. Why not approve this app and warn him he's getting awfully desktop-ish?
