There are two issues being confused here. ETNZ wanted to know how Oracle was controlling their foils. This is why they filed a protest. Oracle's foils are controlled via push button that actuate servos that you can buy at a hobby shop that control hydraulic valves. Thats direct from the horses' mouth. THAT is what ETNZ wanted to protest - nothing having to do with any kind of stability software.
