@sjgenco@me.dm No they begged a bunch of questions, asserting as fact a bunch of assumptions that are extremely debatable.

So yeah, you're kind of begging the question there.

CO needed to produce a ruling, and it did, but it wasn't a particularly well justified argument, and they knew it as they knew this was going to be subject to higher court review.

It doesn't get us anywhere to just deny the open question though.
