I think it is reasonnable that World Records are
subjected to a higher level of scrutiny than badge,
competition and ladder flights.

There was the case of the spurious British World
Altitude claim in ? the 60s / 70s.

There was a flight log that would have been a world
record (if claimed and validated), mentioned on this
forum, last year. I looked at the trace. It was
clearly not valid, but what had gone wrong was not
clear to me.

I think Rory has hit the nail on the head. This only effect World
Records. It does not effect any other aspect of Gliding.

How many of the contributors to this thread have attempted a world
record?
