I didn't unsubscribe from the Admiral's Muppet Show back then because I was in the bath. And when I came out, the issue had already been resolved.
I'll unsubscribe now – my opinion is that controversial situations should be interpreted in favor of the players. Because forcing a player to think under a ticking clock about the nuances of the rules is inhumane; the rules should be simple and clear.
Specifically, in that story, Redwait had 2 serious arguments – the absence of a direct prohibition in the rules (even though it was a known bug) and unofficial permission from 2 members of the Arbitration Committee.
In such a situation, refusing to use the bug could result in post-game comments like, "Well, you're a fool; you missed an easy victory." Using the bug, however, does not create any obvious problems; you can always excuse yourself from the time warp using the two arguments mentioned. No one wants to be a fool, so using the bug is a perfectly logical (although not mandatory) decision for the player.
Therefore, the Arbitration Committee's decision, in my opinion, should have been as follows: award the victory, ban the bug.
The Arbitration Committee made a different decision, but Redwait's opponent (I don't remember who it was) independently corrected it in the right direction; respect.
Judging by your text, you agree that this is a bug that should be banned. That is, you admit to some extent that it is undesirable to use such bugs. The only controversial point is the measure of punishment – whether to deprive him of the victory or not.
The fact that he didn't violate the rules was not even discussed. The discussion revolved around the moral aspect.
What surprised me most was not that he used the bug, but his behavior afterward. He could have backed down – said he was just fooling around in front of the audience, and now let's play again, so there are no hard feelings. But Zheka also insisted, proving that it was normal! Since members of the Arbitration Committee have to make judicial decisions, I would like to see people with an adequate perception of the world in their ranks.
