What's the difference between the technocratic meddling of getting everybody to stop spreading AIDS and the technocratic meddling of getting everybody to start speaking the same language?

We build consensus, we devote dollars and person-hours, and we try to figure out how to get closer to a desired end state. We do it all the time.
