trying new ideas when it comes to government, sometimes produces milions of victims.

Usually only with the forms of government that don't care about millions of victims. Is really a no-brainer that any totalitarian system that intends to make an enemy of a large section of its population is probably going to be pretty awful. So I would strongly suggest weeding those forms out in advance, rather than using the common historical method of allowing them to be implemented through force by the paranoid and insane.

This is less of an issue when it comes to systems of improving feedback in science, unless it somehow enables an aspiring evil genius, or something.
