I don't know him personally but we're official dude-bros now. I meant "doesn't matter" as it's irrelevant to why I'm spittin' and ragin' at HQ; different springs or whatever is everyone's call on what they like. Totes legal and I have no issue with it (90% of our largely casual shooters negatively impact their guns versus help them with tinkering anyway).
I don't know that it was truly impossible to find cheaters, we're pretty self-policing with the rules (not just in production) and a few have been outed in the past. The cheater involved in hammergate sent an email straight to DNROI about his cheating, but how that was handled gave me a very sour opinion of USPSA's stability and sense. I honestly do not know what under the table contradictory rules an RO may pull out of his ass at a major now and that's disconcerting.
Really the rule tweak as it stands is fine. What HQ has been doing in general this last year is somewhat fucked up though. I wish there was a happy medium between breakneck changes without properly working through them and the comical wild incompetence we had a president ago.
