Does really a bank´s "living will" make much sense?

Living wills: “Detailed plans that would enable banks to stipulate in advance how they would raise funds in a crisis and how their operations could be dismantled after a collapse”.

The whole concept of living wills for banks’ designed by the bankers themselves, for how to handle a collapse, seems to me a bit of a show by regulators to show they are doing something and to have something to put the blame on tomorrow…. “They gave us a bad living will” 

I mean if I was a regulator, and wanted to go down that route, I would at least have a third party to look into what could be done in the case a bank passed away, and now and again confront the managers of the bank with those plans, in order to hear their opinions.

For instance there is a world of difference between a living will where the dead are going to be the own executors of the will, and one in which the dead will be dead and others will take care of the embalming.

And talking about this should not the Fed or the FDIC first state what contingent plan they really want… one where the bank is placed on artificial survival mode, and for how long, or one where it is sold in one piece, by pieces or even cremated?

To me it would seem that the Fed and FDIC need to give much clearer instructions about what they want those bankers who are currently working under the premise the bank will live on forever to do… as I can very much understand bankers being currently utterly confused.

PS. And, to top it up, regulators should worry more about how banks live than about how they die. Thanks in much to the distortions created by the regulators with their risk-based capital requirements, the banks are not allocating credit efficiently and their legacy is therefore condemned to be poor. And… excuse me, that´s a far more serious problem.
