Rare is rare..."scarce" has to do with demand, as has been stated. And both are actually relative terms, so have different meanings to different collectors.
Leon has nailed it here. "Relative" semantics cannot (or rather SHOULD NOT) be legislated.

If i am trying to sell you a duck, and I call it a turkey, then you, as the buyer, should educate yourself as to what ducks (and turkeys) look like. For example, I recently bought a Puma knife. They are a well respected German knife company. But the Puma I bought was their "new price point line" made in China. It was horrible. I am stuck with it, but I am educated now.

Noone needs a governing body to legislate for their protection. Governing bodies suck at this sort of thing. Making false claims is different than stating a relative opinion.
