I wouldn't have much of a problem with this if they specified the "narrow and prescribed" uses (and they seemed relatively tightly defined). One wonders if they've actually decided on those uses internally and not shared it with the public, or they haven't even made specific decisions there. Neither answer is good, really.

Or even if for cultural reasons the secondary market remains relatively unimportant, you'd expect prices to fall in the primary by quite a bit. Must say I'm surprised that it hasn't happened already. So far no defections seems like a reasonable guess, though I Googled for 10 seconds and couldn't find any further discussion of that guess.
