So basically you want the process to be judged by the outcome, not by... the process.

That's not how the legal system works and that's not how ANY legals system COULD work, because it would require the process to be finalized and the outcome known before any legal enforcing to happen).

Basically you're bringing an utterly irrational viewpoint to the discussion then you end up with " we can make rational value judgements".
