Its hard to take what's clearly a quarter century old crusade (written in comic sans, no less) very seriously when the subject matter of VRS/AVRS was absolutely thoroughly tested, studied, and addressed to the point where tiltrotors have proven that they are actually less hazardous when it comes to VRS due to the ability to very simply recover without a complex maneuver like Vuichard. Versus helicopters, the tiltrotor ability to positively control pylon angle allows a hugely effective thrust vector shift and shedding of circular wake.

VRS is a tired old V-22 boogeyman and red herring that deserves to be left in the past where it belongs.
