I think you do *most people* an injustice. Many people might consider it unfair if their view and benefit are not fulfilled to their complete satisfaction but surely, many, many people have an innate sense of fairness when they look at the overall picture. When the picture is so muddied with differing facets, as this argument is, then it is difficult to support one view of fair (or unfair) without branding other views as unfair (or fair). This is not a black and white case unfortunately. It is not necessarily true (to use a couple of points as an illustration) that if you do not support massive increases in CCer's payments (ie you consider them unfair) that you automatically support (ie you consider them fair) modest increases in wide/broad beam charges.
