I think you missed his point.

Dave et al, it is pretty damn hard to fiddle with the F16 rules and it is offensive to all that are involved in the F16 class, including the manufacturers. In fact, I have been pleasantly surprised by the civility and cohesiveness by all parties involved.

Just don't drink the Kool-Aid and you'll be OK !!! Of course there will be marketing spin...it is to be expected but in the end, the F16 class is bigger than any one manufacturer or region in the world.
