In other words, the argument is being moved from the subjective, i.e. is the issuer a government entity, to the objective, i.e. 10% rule. It's easier, in my opinion, to win an objective argument.

If you have been following this as deeply as I have, I would like much to hear from you and see your analysis.
I am thankful we have residents like Mr. Kris following this issue deeply, who can explain it to the rest of us!
