29. That report was a trial balloon...
They (the govt) float it out there (via an unofficial schill) and see how it flys w/ the public (based on responses, phone calls, letters, emails, polls).

This is why it is important for people like us to challenge every shoddily constructed report every time they are seen. If every trial balloon was popped before it "flies too high", our work will be easier, and cleaner. It's better to pull the first weed up by the roots than to spray your lawn with roundup.
