It's exactly that. Politics isn't about managing. This is what it's all about: politics is about people, not being a CEO. If you are to be a CEO, you're already a technocrat, since which CEO wouldn't want the most technical people on the team?
The problem is twofold: finding technical solutions for society as if it was a machine limited by degrees of freedom, and thinking that the best fit people should be on ruling positions.
Politics is about people!!
