The general principle governing this matter is that the opponents are
entitled to know your agreements, not what's actually in your hands.

Herman, it seems to me you are arguing about what the laws and
regulations should be, rather than what they actually are now.
You may or may not be right if you are arguing about what the laws
should be (although I personally don't agree), but I think you are
incorrect in arguing that the present laws can be interpreted in
the sense you advocate.
