My first concern is that there is a failure of recognition of the necessity for price-setting of individual titles across the ebook supply chain. Indeed, only by eliminating price as a basis of competition can we ultimately have balanced competition in the real world of publishing as digital change has remade it.

Bravo for holding yourself up to such a high intellectual standard. "Hey, someone else may have stated opinions as facts, so it's okay if I do too! And if that's okay, well I'll just claim that there's a consensus that doesn't exist, because why not?"
