mr. cordray, do you -- think you will have any difficulty applying standards of fair, reasonable -- unfair, unreasonable or abusive? >> i think that with standards like that, kongman, there is a gray area and then there is a core. and is within the core, there is really no question the people perpetrating acts within that core, they know what they're doing is probably wrong and yet they do it anyway. in the gray area, it's a little harder to judge. and i think we should tread more cautiously in the gray area. so -- but as you say, these are terms that have been defined over decades -- >> actually, centuries. >> well, that's true. and it goes back to the common law in many instances and then when they were codified into statutory law. there's still a lot of years of courts interpreting them further. but some of them is very well-plowed ground at this point. and i think that the main outlines of how people mistreat their customers are pretty well defined. when they see that that's happening or they see that that's very likely happening, they should be hesitating. they should be rethinking. and i think that that's entirely appropriate. >> of you said there are gray areas and core are
