The problem is that, as you say, politics for politics' sake isn't very much of anything at all; and politics grounded in anything tends to be pretty boring, and besides I can't think how you'd make it work for a nomic. Scams are interesting if and only if they are interesting; being a scam does not make anything inherently more or less interesting, although there are more boring scams than there are interesting ones. And we're all hopeless nerds, so pedanticism is really unavoidable ;-)
