Answer to Question 1

It is troublesome because there are no instances of pure competition in the real world. Therefore regulators are using a benchmark that lacks realism.

Answer to Question 2

A person has a comparative advantage in producing a good when he or she has the lowest opportunity cost of producing it. Comparative advantage is based on the output forgone. A person has an absolute advantage in production when he or she uses the least amount of time or resources to produce one unit of that particular good or service. Absolute advantage is a measure of productivity in using inputs.
