Do they really think being dishonest and manipulative won't backfire? It's one thing to argue that we should consider unpriced externalities subsidies -- I'd even agree -- but it's quite another to use this alternative proposed definition/classifcation in order to intentionally cultivate a misrepresentation of the underlying facts. People notice shit like this and don't take kindly to being misled.
