Actually that is exactly what you intended. Since us mere mortals could never live up to your standards, we must be roasted over an opinion fire to make an example of us so know when will question Sean, the god of gliding knowledge!
I am not a competition pilot myself but find it absurd that a glider with FES will get better handicap than one without due to loss of 1 point in glide performance. Surely the advantage of self retrieve outweight 1 point in glide. Otherwise just take the blades off during the contest.
