The great thing about that excuse is that the amount of information needed can be set arbitrarily. There will never be enough information available to satisfy people using this excuse. It'll just be "INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER"[1] until the end of time.

Hopefully the FDA has objective procedures and measure to make those determinations. I feel that would be a reasonable approach.
