What if: a pilot who already holds a world record uses the same

was downgraded in the meantime.

This is not a matter of "interpretation," nor has it ever
existed before. It is merely bizarre.

It doesn't sound bizarre to me. Requirements can change as the situation
changes. For example, suppose after his first record, a way was found to
cheat with the type of recorder he used (perhaps a new algorithm for
cracking security codes is developed). I think it is bizarre to suggest
a recorder can be used for all records in the future, once it has been
used to establish one record.
