Which Policies Are Most Sensitive To Change?

This is a line of research I'm posing so I don't lose the train of thought.

What are the most outrageous, absurd, or wrong policies that could be enacted that would do only minimal harm?

What are the policies that are most important to get pretty much precisely right and would could immense harm if they were tinkered with even a little?

Why?

Policies of nuclear deterrence and non-proliferation shouldn't be half-assed.

Otoh, education and criminal justice both strike me institutions that "emerge" from local cultural norms...they seem to be geographically stable rather than just being the outcome of a state or local policy.
