It's about focusing on people with (1) the most leverage over the decision-making process and (2) perfect visibility into the consequences (legal and otherwise) of their actions.
That is -- when you're dealing with the mob, you doing go after the delivery boy. You go after the foot soldiers and kingpins.
That's not how the world works. When she says no, they just find someone else.
That they don't have leverage over the decision-making process seems like a cop out.
No one said they have "no" leverage. Just that those at the executive level have infinitely more.

Very radical, but you bet dealers wouldn't just find the next user and vice versa
Just that about 99 percent of our resources should be focused on those with the most leverage over the situation.
