Jumping through a bunch of bureaucratic hoops and writing a 500 page report doesn't make you right.
- mcmcmc 2y agoHard to call it “arbitrary and capricious” with a straight face though
- gibolt 2y agoIt is easy if you don't read any of the 500 pages and are simply incentivized (directly or not) and want to block the elimination of non-competes.
- pama 2y agoAgreed. However, it makes it easier to succeed in appealing a ruling calling it “arbitrary and capricious”.
- fastball 2y agoDoes it? To me, a 500 page report makes it more likely to be arbitrary. A non-arbitrary decision should be much more easily justified. A 500 page justification on its face seems like trying to bury the opposition in paperwork because your actual justification is vaporware.
- gibolt 2y agoThis is common in legal arguments. You want to make your case as airtight as possible. Keep in mind that there is tons of space per page; not a dense essay. Mathematical proofs are similar, rarely limited to a page. You want to leave little room for doubt.
- dragonwriter 2y agoNo, page count is not a relevant metric for whether the applicable standard is met.
