No. Because half of infninity is still infinity and if an agency is given no assumption of correctness, corporations can not only argue that a specific LEVEL is arbitrary and capricious without justification, they can also file lawsuits objecting to the MEANS by which the level is measured, arguing the sampling process is inaccurate, subject to partisan interpretation, etc. - WTH

You make some good and thought provoking points. However we must find some middle ground, if the bureaucrats word is final, then we are creating an un-accountable oligarchy.
There must be some middle ground found somehow to allow common sense from outside the beltway to penetrate the rule making process. The very regulations you defend are where the rubber meets the road for lobbyists, political contributions, and granting favors and the more sunlight, the better.
