From the ICO's modified Cambridge English Dictionary:

pragmatic (adjective)

solving problems in a sensible way that suits the conditions that really exist now us, rather than obeying fixed theories, ideas, or rules the law

It would be nice to believe that the fall in breech reports is down to the requirement to report, that would be WAI. However, I'm more inclined to reckon that the drop is down to consumer apathy due to lack of confidence in the ICO doing anything useful. Why bother reporting, especially if the target is the government? The ICO's activity in this case just shows them as government toadies.
