Talk about a load of bull.

The only real incentive is to lower the royalties, and the only reason they're not doing that is optics. They don't want to officially reveal their ineptitude, nor do they want to upset the radical, "pitchfork waving" lunatic rural fringe or the "me-first socialists" that supported upping the rates and "sticking it to the man."

We want to encourage a stable and responsible level of production, not life-support to sustain inactivity.
