# kaal:claim:2808132-017

**Type.** failure  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- purely reactive facts-based rulemaking

**Source quote.**

> facts-based rulemaking did not anticipate regulatory issues created by innovation, rulemakers may not at all or much too late realize what new regulatory demands apply to a given innovation and associated regulatory issue.
