You know, I'm not a professional pilot. I never was. I'm not even a fan. I am a simple spectator who just wants to enjoy the race. This is obviously a completely different perspective than someone who knows the rules exactly, is an expert on the subject, and is even good at what he does.

I, on the other hand, have other life experiences, and based on that I say that, in my humble opinion, this type of decision-making and this type of punishment system is not effective, not proportionate and mostly: NOT deterrent. In addition, decision-making in this form cannot be objective most of the time, but only subjective at best. As a result, I never criticize those who have to make a decision in a short period of time, but those who cannot make appropriate rules.
