Default RE: AMA sanctions and the need for CD responsibility

So the AMA safety rules prohibit people from operating in the safest way they know how, and instead of changing/waiving the safety rules to promote safe operation, AMA says get the CD (their agent) out of the way so the safety rules (their rules) that apply during a sanctioned event (their sanction) don't have to be enforced. Interesting; a different kind of reasoning than the logic I am accustomed to. I am gaining a better understanding of why some CDs have a bit of difficulty in interpreting the policies they are expected to apply.

Hey, I just supply information. I am all for compliance with the rules. As far as I am concerned, the turbine guys can comply and do their maidens the day before the event. That's what others do and it is safer than doing maidens in front of a crowd. I didn't create the technicality. I didn't recommend using it. As far as I am concerned, if everyone complied with the intent of the rules, I would be perfectly happy.

I try to post two things. Facts, and my opinions. If it's not clear which is which, let me know and I will make it very clear.
