Often this feel is based on past mistakes made. In this case a mistake would be a well intended law overturned by the courts.

Intuitively I feel like mistakes would be repeated on a longer time scale. So someone who remembers what we did 15 years ago would say “let’s not waste time on this, it hasn’t worked in the past”.

You can still learn with 10 year term limits but then you’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes every 10 years.



> you’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes every 10 years

That assumes 1) that every term expires at the same time, and 2) no-one ever documents anything...


I'm guessing you're not in a support position.

2.a) no one ever reads the documentation.
