Great point, and I just edited that out on re-read because I realized it's simply not true. In fact, it's the core problem with using private action as an enforcement mechanism. You pass a specialized regulatory problem to a generic court and waste everyone's time with cases like this one where the companies may in fact be perfectly compliant - but first you need to spend money teaching the judge what the facts are.
