Why do you dismiss the anticompetitive nature of the regulatory process? I'd really love an answer for this.
Because it's a side-effect, not the purpose. This is something we disagree on and you just don't believe that any legislation can be proposed with good intentions, or at the very least the 1906 Act. I'm not planning to convince you, all we can do is judge history based on what happened, not who was thinking what at the time.
Correlation and causation again.
Again, history. If I set out to wash my fruit and it ends up washed, that's not correlation. But I can never convince you of that.
