Default RE: Supplement Code 550

I'm still hung up on how a Buddy Box is unsafe if the model is over 10/60.

Does it really matter if the PIC takes over
from someone that lost control while looking at the plane, or someone that lost control waring goggles.

If Muncie wants to say that BuddyBoxes are unsafe taking over out of control planes
based on if they are over 10/60,
but only if the assisted pilot was looking at a screen or goggles,
does that make it safe for an assisted pilot get sun in his eyes or lose orientation with a heavy fast plane?

What does it matter if the guy that get control taken away by the buddybox master PIC
was looking at a screem, his phone, or staring at the sun.... or just dropped the stick.
What would the master PIC do different with a 11lb FPV out of control that he can do just fine with a 9lb one?
