Jones Day are a law firm hence they will write whatever they can get away with for their clients. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, we just need to take this into perspective. el On 2015-09-10 10:04, Arun Sukumar wrote:
I found this observation from Willie Currie very interesting:
"A last point on this issue. What weight of evidence should be attached to an impact assessment such as Jones Day’s? We are not dealing here with an environmental impact assessment where there is hard scientific data to include in the evidence. We are dealing with governance and accountability, which is in the realm of the social and the political. That means that we are dealing with human behaviour in a complex system with multiple variables, well beyond the purchase of a randomised control trial. Judging by the number of words such as `would’, `could’ and `likely’ in Jones Day’s analysis, we are primarily in the space of the speculative."
