I agree almost entirely with you Mister Loco, and thankyou for taking me seriously. It is good to see there are still some gentlemen left in the world.
There is also the argument that it is easier to fire fast with adrenalin pumping through your veins than when you are standing by the robot, that is unless you are cheating, in which case the threat of a DQ should provide enough adrenalin to keep you going.
The part I disagree with you on is that if brazen cheaters say the record from the field is false, that holds some merit. That area is the technically controlled area. I think they will argue that they shot that fast legally, but are unable to replicate it off the field.
The flaw is the human part.
The rest of what you said is certainly valid, but nonetheless I do believe this test will be in place. Therefore you can assume that people will be dq'ed as a result of it. Teams have argued against penalties since penalties were invented, but I do not see that peer pressure from a team or group of teams will work in this case. Eggs will be broken, and omelettes will be made. Such are the by-products of change, particularly in rule enforcement. People who cheat can't complain that people are trying to catch them. People who don't cheat can easily replicate a rate of fire, time after time, within 3bps. People who are ramping cannot, if they could they would not be ramping.
I do not know if they are testing people on the break, but as this is the one area that most teams have cheats activated I would be disappointed if it were not a point of focus. You answer to this lies in Denver.
For your last point, if the 18 wish to ignore this as a result of what day I posted they should fly home on, it would be unwise to do so.
as for your first point. I would not have a go if all of these white-boys were as polite as yourself. Tell me, is there a Mrs Loco?
EDIT ADDED: Play your cards right and there could be--at least for awhile. TFP
