Obvioulsy, but why is that regulation there.

I've explained why.

no - you've given your opinion as to why

I am disagreeing with it, unless you can come up with something better you

Sorry should have added:

IMO the reason for the rule is as I stated, but the PR people morphed it

because the real reason is one that you couldn't explain to nervous
