Perhaps what Bash did *was* illegal, and prosecutable under the rules at the

number of the following):

- they made a dumb mistake
- they were planning to publicize the Q&A anyhow
- they wanted to focus on other areas of enforcement
- they didn't think they could win
- they were concerned that prosecuting Bash would bring other things to light,
such as the limited size of the pool actually in use
- they were concerned that prosecuting Bash would sell more of his books and
encourage imitators to do the same thing

You left out the real reason - the person who had the obligation
to carry any prosecution forward (long since retired and deceased)
was an expert in ducking anything that looked like work.
