I agree. But as I said in my original post:

The unresolved question is what happens if an "authorized entity" has a copy but you are not qualified to download it and yet you are "adversely affected" by the lack of TTS.
This seems to be a Catch-22. The exemption applies to anyone "adversely affected", but many people who are affected can't access versions from an "authorized entity" and any such version presumably voids the exception.
