Thanks for the comments. I struggled a bit with the use of the word "truth." I know people involved in this process, well-meaning folks, and I think it is fair to describe their collective perspectives (facts) as their "truth." As the four wire rod companies -- which also have wire product manufacturing plants -- employ far fewer people than do the overall wire manufacturers, is it fair to decide a case based on the greater potential loss of employment?

Of note, in Canada and the EU, there is another element of the process known as the Public Interest Test, whereby they can consider whether imposing anti-dumping measures case harm to the populace.
