We don't know how effective their enforcement of the rules are. Maybe 99.9% of listings for banned items are properly removed and what we see are just 0.1% of a very large number. I would say 99.9% is a rate that most people would say is effective. Would you say the rule enforcement is effective if it catches exactly 100% of violators?

I never said they were. (Although they may be in some places.) What I'm saying is it's very useful to have tools to get into a locked car or to pick a lock. Who hasn't locked himself out?
They're saying Amazon prohibits their sale, but doesn't effectively enforce that rule.
