As far as I can tell, Dan, your didn't contain any material contrary to 
facts as we know them.

On the other hand, if the powers implied by the government regulation 
were not fully used in the old days, your argument could be classified 
as speculative, and not based on actual cases.  That doesn't make your 
argument unreasonable.  Most arguments about a "chilling effect" are 
somewhat speculative.
