I will not go over the rest of your redundant verbage but you have obviously made another mistake in comprehension.
The above article you speak of that gives you your "tell" was written recently, which means that "Creekstone's" test HAS been approved by the USDA for about two years now and has been in use by the USDA in their surveillance program.
:???: The "illegal" statement by the USDA was made in 2004, before the USDA had approved any rapid tests. (WB is not included in the "rapid" category although much faster than the IHC and mouse bioassay.)
The test would not be illegal now because of the USDA approval process. It would only be illegal because the USDA says so.
Nice try, but no cigar.
SH: It tells me that Yamada is unaware that Creekstone's test has not been approved by USDA and therefore is illegal.
