Amazed and confused: Advisors struggle to make sense of Bachus' Wall Street Journal Op-Ed salvo

How does Bachus miss the point that brokers are neither accountable nor responsible for their recommendations but advisors are ? Isn’t it in the investing public’s best interest that brokers be held accountable and responsible for their recommendations?
There is misinformation that is easy to clarify being advanced by Bachus, but there seems to be a conscious choice to not understand or mislead
