The lack of debating in good faith is not exclusive academia. Not by a long shot.
But it is certainly the last place one expects it. Yet, it's just as pervasive there as everywhere else.
I share you dream of persuasion through facts, being the savior of mankind, but that has never been the case.
To quote Mark Twain:
"Peace by persuasion has a pleasant sound, but I think we should not be able to work it. We should have to tame the human race first, and history seems to show that that cannot be done."
- Letter to William T. Stead, 1/9/1899 from Mark Twain

Yes, they do. Or are my friends who have been in the business 40 years, some whose work you and everyone else are still using, telling me lies?
Perhaps this very article has nothing to with bloat and it's just sour grapes? Yeah, that's it right? Because despite every single program in the world being affected by bloat, games are inviolate?

It a strange way, they are both right and wrong
All U.S. "watchdog" agencies have the power to act as they need to. Their power derives directly from the Federal government, be it Congress, the President or the Supreme court.
At the same time, the GOP have spent decades weakening all of these watchdog agencies in the name of "less regulation" but whose real purpose was to make criminal activity, mainly fraud and extortion, easier for companies. This has resulted in many companies thinking they are exempt from oversight.
A U.S. federal judge has already rejected Huwei's previous claims. They can say what they want. They can also go pound sand.

Re: workers that had already exhausted their avenues for redress through third-party arbitration.
To add insult to injury, most arbitration in America is forced. You either agree to it or you will not get the job/service/product.
That is NOT due process.
Also, most Americans cannot afford a lawyer and most American lawyers are useless in the first place.
