That's all well and good. Propose that and let's get the ball rolling.

But that doesn't change the fact that you've spent two pages trying to point out that a course that's playing about 3 seconds slower at 5.5f is somehow NOT noticeably slower than it would have been on a different footing, ie "firm."

That's hogwash, and to use your words, "don't tell me you can't tell the difference."
