Ah, OK, this is another example of feral gummints (sic! - as if there can be any other kind<g>) taking the English 
language and converting it into NewSpeak (there must have been someone who read George Orwell in there).

I (mis-)understood "know your customer" to be a pungently economical use of standard English words to expresss a wise 
aphorism which all businessmen ignore at their peril... <VBG> silly me!
