I honestly believe there is no conspiricy here.

Just a bunch of ignorant lawmakers who don’t understand the implications of their dictates.

The real question is “Is there any other kind?”

Many of these lawmakers get their ideas and draft legislation directly from special interest agents who understand the implications perfectly well, but are pushing for maximum advantage. Remember, e.g., Big Tobacco knew from the get-go that “Light” cigarettes were more dangerous than regular because the smaller smoke particles got down deeper in the lungs and caused Small Cell Carcinoma, which is much harder to detect and treat. But the “Light” push saved them from disaster caused by the first waves of cancer fears. And so on.
