I'm not sure antagonism to control is a sound basis for a society. It's a mixed blessing isn't it? Useful to the extent it offers "checks and balances", but is it even working there?
A civil service, and business management relatively competent and free of corruption is another virtue. One dating to the British I suppose. It's likely by far our greatest inheritance, and it's stable. Even with insufficient pay compared to the private sector the civil servant persist.
To generalize, this is perhaps part of the broader virtue of conducting work in good-faith, with honesty, and diligence.
