That's a very generous assumption. Especially in the context of an email sent under false pretenses and a false name and an anonymous domain.

It's either a veiled threat or a serious error. Either way, this study needed more oversight.

Calls for more oversight are calls for more bureaucratic procedures and this whole situation is already bureaucracy gone mad.

That sounds like you're referring to the CCPA itself as the bureaucracy gone mad, and probably have already made up your mind about what outcomes research like this will find. If so, that's not really a helpful attitude for this kind of discussion.

In this specific situation it doesn’t seem like there was any bureaucracy at all
