Others have criticised the management of the District rather than its existence. Ivardus Hopsin, former director of a government-funded literacy programme in the District, told an annual meeting of the ''Worshipful and Very Quiet Guild of Kiravian Librarians'' that "the way things are done Human Development District is reflective of an administration that still isn't sure what it wants to do in Crona. In one subdivision, with one tribe, they want Coscivian cultural education and they want textbooks to use Coscivian loanwords. In another they want calques and synthesis from native roots. In Horizon City they want to teach Coscivian itself. This is what we see in the educational sector, but the same pattern applies across the board as far as aid distribution, development, job training, and so on." Similarly, Nestorius Y.P.G. Grampian, a [[Shaftonist democracy|Shaftonist-democratic]] political theorist and general supporter of the Candrin administration wrote in the circular ''Persistence of Vision'' that "in the HDD we see once again that perpetual Ancient Coscivian logic of [[Verticalism]], an order in which one's economic life is determined by bureaucrats on the basis of tribe, clan, and caste. Kirosocialism defeated, we had thought that this creeping vine had finally been extirpated from our polity, but it is clear now that the errors of Verticalism are so deeply imprinted in the Coscivian psyche that they become the default manner of administration to which we invariably revert in the absence of strong organic institutions."
