"I think your putting too much trust in regulatory authority."

Not at ALL!

But... TWO big problems are solved that way:

1) having a standardized product (such as with Options) REMOVES counter-party risk (because the third party stands behind all settlements...), and

2) having the product traded on TRANSPARENT open markets eliminates all problems with "price discovery" --- no longer any need to take a 'liar's assessment of value' because you have a public market price to refer to!
