The last paragraph of Dave Brown's column:

"In automobile racing, they have been wise enough to change the rules, as technology allows higher and higher performance with the "old" rules, to contain the performance to a reasonable level. Shouldn't we be doing the same thing? Are racecars of today less "advanced" than those of years past, because the rules are more restrictive?"

I think those of you that stopped reading halfway through the column had best take another look.

Then, of course, maybe I am misreading his intent.
