It's one thing to make a policy decision, it's another to claim it's based on science when the science says no.

The science behind a ban wasn't all that great. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13996137

The science is actually quite good, the campaign by DOW is also quite good which apparently counts for more. Given the EPA head has no interest or knowledge of science but a long history of attacking his agency for everything it ever stood for, this is not surprising to me at all.
