Never underestimate the collective will of a bureaucracy to protect itself, one of the best was the Qld Police Service in the late 70's early 80's.
My personal belief is that there is something wrong with CASA Tvl, however as you point out, very few of the 'simple facts' are ever put forward as evidence.
Add that to the 'fact' that some posters here seem to struggle with reality and spend a lot of their time bagging some part of GA or another and I am hardly surprised that CASA ignores the proffered conjecture.
Unless we, collectively, get over the splitered backstabbing (as exemplified the 'air america' thread, the BPI thread and the varied attacks on AOPA by failed ex-board members) how is CASA expected to take GA seriously.
Were I a CASA bureaucrat I would simply post something here, splinter whatever group was threatening my reign (CASA, RAA, AUSAC, ASFA .... whatever) and carry on my merry way.
