traders are definitely deciding and consciously setting a price, how else would it arise, clearly they don't all have the same price in mind, that's what makes the market. The market sets a price, through the interaction of competing traders. No one is writing out a menu defining prices for the world. " Well that's some people's objective..." Excuse me, that's what that was about, reducing consumption. There is a difference between putting downward pressure on consumption and getting a "guarantee that usage targets will be achieved".
