I also note that paragraph 90 on page 17 was deleted and what it ... it ... it says how to deal with bank failures and how the regulator could have closure authority and you could ensure there wouldn't be a run on the banks and - a deposit interest run - and that the losses should be confined to shareholders. Was that not vital information for us to have as we faced into the banking crisis in 2008?
