For those concerned with fairness what has stopped anyone clarifying that action?
It's a stement of fact. I can't see what clarification you think "anyone" should have given or why they would need to.

As for measuring separation distance, I gather you would like to see heightfinding radars installed at every airshow with a team of trained personnel to monitor every display. A very practical and worthwhile idea. By the same token, let's have speed cameras covering every part of every road in Britain and an army of analysts - it is, after all the only way to be absolutely certain that no one ever drives too fast.
