- [2834531-004](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2834531-004) [definitional/argued] -- Regulation is never grounded in the full set of facts about a technology; it is always premised on a prior selection of the facts that regulators themselves treat as relevant when deciding what, when, and how to intervene.
  > In this respect, regulation is always premised on a selection of relevant facts about a particular technology.

- [2834531-028](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2834531-028) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The post truth diagnosis is self defeating as a basis for regulation: if there is no objective basis on which to act, the conclusion is inertia or reproduction of the status quo, which is precisely the regulatory paralysis the diagnosis purports to describe.
  > If we live in a post–truth world then we don't have any objective basis on which to act, leading to inertia or the reproduction of the status quo.
