And sometimes they get it wrong, just as simple.  Reason regulations go through the NPRM and public comment period.  Over 20 years ago the NPRM concerning helicopter IFR alternate minimums was supported greatly with comments until someone read it and realized it wouldn't work!  Required a Supplemental NPRM which came out a year later.  Better to get it right the first go around rather than make it law and suffer the embarrassment when everyone reads it and realizes whatever is in the offing just won't function.
