This sounds like the same whining and crying that every industry does when they don't want to change.
The auto industry did the same thing when they said that seat belts, front air bags, side air bags, anti-lock brakes, crumple zones, etc. were just too expensive and would "DOOM" the industry.
It was easier for GM to hire a prostitute and try to smear Ralph Nader's reputation than to actually, like, build a safer car. It was cheaper for Ford to pay out lawsuits for the deaths due to the Pinto than to recall the thing and make it safe for people to drive.
