Well if dead people can come up with insightful comments, then great. These are comments, not votes. Once all the possible ideas have been presented, there is no point in further comments.

In the end only actual politics matters. If you want to do a petition then do a partition. If you want to complain then target a politician.

But what if the FCC is counting the quantity of citizens making a given point when deciding? In that case the quantity matters even if it is a restatement of the same argument.

That is an interesting theory but ultimately the FCC answers to Congress. They are not allowed to do their own politics (although sometimes they try). They are in the end just a regulator. They do make a nice scapegoat so as to allow the actual politicians to avoid criticism of the policies those politicians created.

Both FCC and congress are composed of people. People can easily be biased just by the amount of data they encounter on one side or the other, especially if arguments on both sides sound compelling and most of those people don't really want to spend too much time into the topic.

My statement was not really about who controls the FCC, but about how they will or are ACTUALLY considering public comments currently.
