That's not the measure of the worth of regulation.
Of course not. It's the measure of the disaster of over-regulation.

The ability to breathe clean air and drink clean water is a measure of the
success of "over"-regulation. New Jersey in the 1960s was the disaster
(as kids we held soaps up to our noses while driving down the turnpike in
order to not throw up).

I don't want to return to that ever again.

Analogy: death sentence for speeding.

Rationality dictates a response appropriate to the problem. Irrationality
dictates over-reaction and hysterics.

Also, most regulation is based on junk science.
