The rule stayed obscure for years, and few outside the agency had ever read it. Critics say firms quietly leverage that gap. Even after the setback, the team stayed buoyant. Regulators promised a full review, but the nuance matters: disclosure was never mandatory, and the resilient ones planned for that.

buoyant/ˈbɔɪənt/
