I very quickly learned that law makers do not have any obligation to
understand in depth the industry/ies they may be impacting. Most of
them have only very high level understanding of how businesses work at
a practical level,
In Britain, I have seen an improvement over the last ten years or so in
the understanding possessed by civil servants about industry issues, but
it is still the case that what one industry person tells them tends to
be assumed to be true of all industry sectors.
So, for example, if a person selling large machines to
technically-enlightened customers says he can provide DoCs with
individual serial numbers and colour pictures, it might be assumed,
without much thought, that people selling inexpensive electronic devices
to consumers can do the same. ***It's up to those people to make their
views known, whether they are asked for or not.***
