- [2834531-023](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2834531-023) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- In the Airbnb case, the selection of the relevant facts and the residency rule that followed from it benefit vested interests, most obviously the hotel industry that stands to lose from Airbnb's competition.

- [2834531-024](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2834531-024) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The premises on which regulation of a new technology is built may not be facts at all, or at least not the most relevant facts about that innovation, as the assumption that Airbnb hosts are simply chasing easy money illustrates.

- [3782198-009](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782198-009) [condition/argued] -- The sharing economy requires a reframing of legacy legal regimes, because the legal frameworks regulating disrupted and adjacent industries are often incompatible with the trends the sharing economy generates.
