What we will be doing by passing this amendment would be opening the door for frivolous lawsuits in a particular type of case. Ironically, there would even be new issues to litigate. Now we could litigate the question of whether a derivative product was involved or not, whether it was peripheral to the transaction, whether it was central to the transaction, whether it was really derivative or not. All of this is rather abstruse and in any case irrelevant to what we are trying to do right here.
