But real rules. Not voluntary. And people still go to jail.

That's not the point of the example. The point is to illustrate that the functionality does not need to be at the federal level or even in a government entity. That the SEC setup differs in other regards is irrelevant. That's the point of using examples. They illustrate the key factor being communicated. The rest doesn't matter.

You're going to great lengths to resist the notion that oversight can occur without centralizing regulation. Pick at my examples all you want but you can't undermine that notion because it exists everywhere. Distribution and delegation are tried and true paradigms.

But real rules. Not voluntary.

The other thing off about this comment is that you're conflating whether the rules are voluntary with whether the process for reconfiguring the paradigm is voluntary.
