Let me push your analogy a bit further. I can think of a few good reasons to change the lightbulb even if it does work. For instance, if the current lightbulb is wasting energy. Or if the current lightbulb presents a danger to others due to catastrophic failure or poor design/execution. There are those who, rightly or wrongly, believe that the current lightbulb is pursuing policies that are wasteful and dangerous. The only problem is that the replacement bulb might not be much better...
