Zero defects is not always possible, but the goal of having zero is mandatory. Racing is happy to just shrug off pretty much everything.

Of course, you are right. The integrity of the game is in doubt and the people in power are actually questioning the importance of that relative to cost.
Racing has illustrated their lack of concern at every integrity crisis that has arisen. For the good old boy thieves it is business as usual. Until that changes, racing can never be a
major league sport.
... which of course means that racing will never be anything but expensive bush league.
If a guy cheats, he should be done for life from coast-to-coast.
They laugh at all of us bettors because we're the suckers that keep playing.
As for zero defects...
I'm simply being realistic about our chances of them improving anything.
Remember, as we (old school horse players) continue to age, the crowd and wagering will thin out. Once our generation has passed, the game will die completely.
God willing, I'll be around to see them turn out the lights.
