The issue with the Sybil system is that it is entirely based on faith; it IS flawed, criminals DO commit crimes still. The only reason it still has power is because people believe in it.
Further, what people believe in was a lie. The Sybil system is not what they say it is, and this means permanent deception of the population.
So we don't have an aristocracy in Sybil; we have a Theocracy. It only exists because of faith, nothing more or less. The common people live in the lie, and everything works as long as they keep believing in what isn't true; That Sybil is perfect.
Sybil needs to shut down not because it is evil, but because you can't rule via faith alone. If they showed everyone what Sybil really is, let everyone know its limits and flaws, and the population STILL accepts it? Then you have an Aristocracy.
