Sorry, and I've deleted the post in question, but my concern is that you're using the phrase "Maximum Assured Pricing" across several forums you've posted in on this site and have rejected the normal usage of the term such that it seems you consider "minimum advertised price" incorrect.
Back on topic: My understanding of this issue is that Pentax wants to enable online retailers to compete on an equal footing where comparison shopping is very easy. However, since you can't easily shop around over the phone or in person at physical stores, it isn't necessary to maintain a minimum advertised price for non-online purchases.
