I'm not sure what constitutes "comfort," or who needs it? "Stuff" happens all the time in business, especially when regulatory or other agencies get involved, and business people deal with it. It's part of the cost and fact of doing any kind of business.
One thing is for sure: negotiating anything in a fishbowl environment rarely (if ever) works well, to include negotiation by presentation of one side's position in the press. The POA should realize this, especially after it's previous experience.

Let's remember that the TOTV, if you look at numbers (most views are repeats) has a relatively small audience. Furthermore, I really have seen more realism, as opposed to doom and gloom, by the people concerned about the potential severity of this situation.
I, of course, am aware that "stuff" happens all the time in business. However, "stuff" of this potential magnitude does not happen all the time.
Yes, you are right, this matter has probably NOT YET significantly impacted the sale of houses. The impact will probably come when real estate agents start to really focus on the situation and feel compelled to disclose the facts to potential buyers, in order to avoid potential liability if this controversy turns out badly.
