Here's a different question. Should the Olympic Equipment and be challenging enough to sort out the best sailors in the world?
Or should the Olympic Equipment simply reflect what's popular world wide?
My answer is drawn from mandates to the equipment committee will consider boats that are NOT EVEN DESIGNED OR BUILT YET.... therefore, the answer cannot be the latter!
In reality... they politics of ISAF and MNAs are looking at disciplines, classes, boats and their own interests STILL! Clean and simple guidelines are irrelevant in this muddy muddy quagmire.
Bill Roberts made the first point on this forum many many moons ago.... he was right then and now! (He used the Formula I analogy... you don't sort the best drivers in the world out using stock minivans.)
