Number two, the release of data, if you are making rules, does not pre-assume that the reg is too tough, too little, too soft. What it means is, if you are going to be doing public policy--public policy-- doesn't the public deserve access to public data because there is lots of smart people out there on the left and the right or just academia that should have this information, this raw data, to decide are we doing it the most rational, the most powerful way?
