Ted,
I believe that agencies are held accountable to Congress and the legislature, but not the courts. It's that old separation of powers thing.

Yes. The Court brushed aside all the arguments and data, and said, in
effect, that the Agency said it had looked at all that literature and didn't
find it persuasive, so that's good enough for us. The implications are that
Courts should not question agencies on basic substantive issues; they are
not to be held accountable.
