Uhm, I wasn't giving a counter argument. I was replying to your question. What you want to do with that is up to you. Any demonstration in the vein you propose will rely on a measure of caveat emptor. I would guess I am willing to accept a greater degree of this (trading strict consumer protection for better competition leading to better service and lower prices) than you seem to be.
