I found this observation from Willie Currie very interesting:

"A last point on this issue. What weight of evidence should be attached to
> an impact assessment such as Jones Day’s? We are not dealing here with an
> environmental impact assessment where there is  hard scientific data to
> include in the evidence. We are dealing with governance and accountability,
> which is in the realm of the social and the political. That means that we
> are dealing with human behaviour in a complex system with multiple
> variables, well beyond the purchase of a randomised control trial. Judging
> by the number of words such as `would’, `could’ and `likely’ in Jones Day’s
> analysis, we are primarily in the space of the speculative."
