I don't know why anyone would even call this a "debate". No one's advocating using etherless fuel for regular sport flying, or claims it's better than ether-containing fuel. Just pointing out that engines CAN be made to run on etherless fuel doesn't amount to debate, and in any case it's pretty obvious it can be done, so there's no actual thing to debate anyhow. There are potential uses for such engines which aren't necessarily those RC hobbyists would be interested in.

Well I suppose it depends on your definition of what a debate really is and I am going to lean on "to consider something, deliberate or to engage in a formal discussion."
So I don't know why anyone wouldn't call most threads debates.
I think that advocacy of etherless fuel is not needed here, its more about revisiting why its not popular in comparison but when backed into a corner where ether is just plain inavailable, threads like this start to prove there value.
