As usual, you use the fact that people ENJOY racing while cheating (by using the kerbs) as though the ENJOYMENT was all that mattered. If it is, then you can't object to the following:-

Many people would enjoy racing with a 135cc kart in 125cc races!

Does THAT make it acceptable.... or is 'enjoyment' NO LONGER enough to allow THEM to break the rules?

The truth is that my comparison is SO close that it turns a bright SPOTLIGHT on the hypocrisy..... and THAT's why you don't want to answer it!

I do NOT expect you to CHANGE your views (or anyone else, for that matter). All I expect you to do is to ACCEPT that you are being hypocritical by holding those two OPPOSED views about the SAME thing... cheating! Once you accept that, I'll drop it!

However, if you think I am WRONG and you CAN find a difference, then EDUCATE me! I will accept ANY logical, reasoned 'argument' which addresses the simple question:

'why is ONE method of breaking a CLEARLY, UNAMBIGUOUSLY written rule SO awful but breaking a DIFFERENT rule is to be PROMOTED when they BOTH improve lap times by ROUGHLY the same amount?'

... and the answer 'holds water' when 'examined'...!

The question is NOT do people 'enjoy' it, or 'DO' it, or has it been 'HISTORICALLY acceptable', or 'do Formula 1 drivers do it' or any OTHER spurious question. The question is what is DIFFERENT about the rules that let you CHOOSE between the ones you enforce and the ones you DON'T?

If you ARE right, that won't be difficult.....
