It doesn't even matter whether these are true; I'm not really trying to argue these points or I'd back them up better, I'm just answering your question. (So, for instance, replying to me to argue about the legal authority for the BP Oil escrow account would be missing the point.) It only matters that enough people in business think they are true. It doesn't matter whether they are entirely correct, it only matters that the concerns are correct enough. Somewhat loaded terms were chosen deliberately to give a more accurate impression of how these people are thinking.
