Rog, indeed.
Although the argument started over the solo aspect, and TCT defended that stubbornly until the evidence was overwhelming, this really is as you describe. It’s about the overall “feat” but lately it has also become more about integrity.
Do the LAA want someone who has behaved in this manner, and threatened them with lawyers to get her way, to be seen as someone worthy of their award and endorsement? There seem to be some fine people within the LAA who were fooled like the rest of us and are now being vilified for that. TCT has a lot to answer for.
