Not exactly true, but true up to a point.
The older I get, the wronger I get, but my recollection is that the engines did not bring the American part to 51%, which is what outraged me at the time. I don't get too outraged any longer. If you have any reading material on the judges decision on that, I would be happy to be shown to be wrong. You seem to be pretty informed on the matter, so I may be barking up the wrong tree.
