Yes, you say that. Others give opposite examples.

It is a prediction of human and business behavior, is it not, regardless of how certain you and others think it will be?

Businesses like to grow. Growth depends on market share. The easiest way to get market share is to market a quality product/service at a lower price than your competitor.

When government gets involved, all the companies have to do is meet the standard set by government. Even if a company can market a product/service for less than the standard, they can't sell it for less.

As in all things, if the government is involved in it, we ALL get screwed....
