What does that even mean?

If I am selling food so expensive that no one can afford and start to dying from starving, then I can say: "I am not not allow you to eat, it's just that my price is highly specific?"

Do you really think regulations are not pushing away competitions because of the investment needed to overcome the numerous details? Would that same logic apply to your "highly specific" rules?
