I think the problem with the argument that is being posited is like saying that there must be abuse in family X because some humans around the world over the past year have committed
bad acts, and we must investigate the mom dad and children of family X and see if abuse exists. And if you don't let us investigate everything -and go into their house and look at all their belongings and activities and bank accounts etc etc - then you are
obviously hiding something and the abuse must exist in family X and be rampant.

Some more examples of gaming of the TMCH sunrises, via public blog posts:
1. via Kevin Murphy of DomainIncite.com:
http://domainincite.com/16492-how-one-guy-games-new-gtld-sunrise-periods
DIRECT, CLOUD, and SOCIAL
Note the comments below that blog post by John Berryhill, who wrote "…and the attorney who was unable to use her client’s US registration for “PHYSICS” with the inconvenient disclaimer, and who then obtained
a late change in the TMCH rules allowing figurative registrations, so that her client could use a foreign logo registration to obtain the TMCH entry for that word… is she an IPC member, Kristina?"
implying that the common term "PHYSICS" might also be gamed, by an IPC member. And there are other comments by him and others on that page that are worth reading.
2. via Konstantinos Zournas of OnlineDomain.com:
http://onlinedomain.com/2014/04/15/legal/fake-trademarks-stealing-generic-domains-in-new-gtld-sunrises/
regarding CLOUD, SOCIAL, BUILD, BET, VACATION, DISCOUNT, WEDDING and others (...etc.) More than 30 TMs of very common terms are mentioned, and over 300 domains were found by that one blogger. There are 46 comments
to that blog post, too.
I renew the call for a public comment period, so that more of these kinds of examples of can be submitted to the working group.
Sincerely,
George Kirikos

When you refuse to say what you would count as evidence of a problem, that leaves us with the evidence I, and George, and Bret, and others have offered--if we want to call them "Group 2" TMCH registrants that would make sense to me.
