Okay, but at the time the decision was made, the rules didn't prohibit it! That's one. As you yourself noted, the bug WAS USED in a tournament game, and no one was outraged because, following the rules – if it's not prohibited, it's allowed! That's two. No one even thought about writing to the Arbitration Committee. As I understand the system, the decision should be made based on the RULES IN EFFECT at the time the decision was made. And the rules shouldn't be changed to make "correct" decisions. If the Arbitration Committee had supported Redwait, and THEN officially prohibited it in the rules (although, in my opinion, such a decision should be made by the entire community through an open vote), so that this bug would not be used in the future, then your position would be absolutely correct.
But changing the rules like this – wanting something and then changing it – is just ridiculous :smile52:
I started writing a long reply, but then I thought, why bother.
You've probably heard of the phrase "Solomon's judgment." So, during the reign of this guy, there was probably a legal framework, but the fellow clearly didn't bother with it. And he made decisions primarily based on logic and common sense.
And if common sense suggests that a prohibited technique was used in the game, even if it was officially allowed, then I don't see any reason not to respond to the injustice.
And yes, regarding "today it's allowed, but it wasn't allowed then" – better late than never.
