... That's exactly the issue with the current paradigm of monopoly enforcement. You can subvert a market, then if you fly under the radar for long enough, the competition bureaus have no ability to determine that pricing pressure is being exerted because the market is already non-competitive at the point of the comparison.

You conflate the limits of our current enforcement framework with the principles that underlie the effort in the first place throughout this thread.
