Thank you for providing your valuable perspective on this, @josephsavage. You have a much better experience base from which to "weigh in" on this topic than most.

That said, I would appreciate your "straight up" assessment of at least the potential for ... "malicious intent." As stated, one would assume you believe there is ... "Nothing to see here kids. Move along ..." Blackrock is just "doing their job" and it is as simple as that?
