You really should go ask a CEO if he'd sign off on something that he  
doesn't understand.  Really.  I can assure you that your impression is  
wrong, and most CEOs don't prefer to be standing in court defending  
their actions.

Burdensome?  Really?  If you have your documentation together it takes  
about 15 minutes from beginning of the application form until  
receiving your new allocation.  I spend longer on hold any time I deal  
with any other vendor.
