Mischaracterizing my argument, and then attacking that mischaracterization is called a straw man.

My argument is not about dishwashers. It's not about specific buttons. It's that removal of this particular government bureaucracy is unlikely to lead to any bad outcomes, because it has long ago stopped doing much of anything that actually impacts energy use, and instead focuses on things like making your dishwasher work worse in the name of efficiency. A classic story of bureaucratic imperative.

Even if you do think it's doing something, you have yet to adequately explain why it needs to be done by the government.
