Juries are unlikely to contain aerobatic pilots, and lawyers are skilled at leading them in areas in which they have no expertise. This jury was persuaded that a pilot with a class 1 medial might have experienced a mental impairment during the loop and was therefore not responsible for busting his gate. Despite the point you make, and I made earlier in the thread, the clever legal eagles won the day by using an argument that could not be disproved.
