Indeed, and that is precisely why I want acceptable mechanisms to test the hypothesis and correct for it, adapt the estimates etc (all mentioned in the comment that you are responding to). The fix seems far from arbitrary blanket protection from market pressures. Just like so many other things the market needs to be actively co-opted into the mix to set the prices right, rather than being cordoned off.
