In the article we find the following paragraph:
"Certainly, the complexity of the models behind the trading makes it exceptionally difficult for the regulators to have benchmarks that allow them to make their own independent - and different - assessments of the risks. The regulators themselves may have an alternative view of the underlying assumptions in the derivatives."
