Benson so much negativity, namaste. Logic might not be your forte, but an ASW-27-18 is an ASG-29, which is not an ASW-27.

An ASG-29 at 15 meters even has different wing area than 15 meter ASW-27 and is about 80 lbs heavier. Just because the 29 was certified under the same type cert does not mean there were not meaningful differences, wing root, tweaks to airfoil, wing span, mixer control, composite layup schedule, wing spar etc. Hence the different designation ASW-27 vs ASW27-18. And these changes were made by a different designer who had different ideas about what was needed to make this glider a winner at 18 meters.

As for cow piles, that comment usually stops the exchange of information and signals you are closed for any further exchange, I guess you already know everything, congratulations. You must be in a continually blissful state.

Cow piles! Regardless of what you or anyone else wants to call it, an aircraft is whatever the placard and/or legal paper work says it is. Next time you are around an ASG-29, go look at the placard.
