Despite your best attempts, I don't think tthis can be spun as any way but a major setback for publishers, authors, BN, Kobo( maybe) and independent booksellers. Its a big victory for Amazon and consumers ( in the short term). To portray it any other way is unrealistic at least.
To pretend that the outcome and future repercussions of this ongoing investigation are already a given is what I find unrealistic. Just because the naysayers make more sense to you, doesn't mean the naysayers make more sense. Perhaps this will provide the impetus for BPH to finally look inward at things they may need to do instead of only focusing on what's being done to them. Maybe it's a watershed moment.
