Apparently, the "designer" of that aspect of the real world doesn't
see a problem with it, as "real world version 2.0 has yet to be
released, AFAIK.


It is more likely that nobody wants to pay to fix it.

Who (or what) is in the position to "fix" Real World 1.0 that couldn't
easily afford the cost?

BTW, pilots of propeller-driven aircraft don't see a problem with it
either.


So if they had a choice between two otherwise identical aircraft, with
identical prices, they'd just flip a coin to choose between the one
with P-factor and torque and the one without?

Sorry, I prefer the Real World, the one in which such choices are unlikely
and the market has chosen their preferences.
