As long as you have Sibyl giving out recommendations, it feeds into the natural human compunction to "take the path of least resistance/responsibility". It's too easy for humans to just go along with Sibyl since that frees them from the burden of having to truly consider and think about their decisions.
Even if Sybil doesn't spell them out, there's always going to be recommendations. That's how it is when you have hard numbers. Heck, just look at speed limits. For the most part, it's "don't go faster than x km/h", not "use you judgment to not go too fast".

Besides, considering who they hire to hold their guns, "I can shoot" will automatically translate to "I'm bloody well going to shoot".
