There's been a lot of discussions about whether the diffusers should be legal or not. But I see very few, if any posts, seem to address the core issue. Which is, whether given a reasonable interpretation of the rules, the diffusers should be legal. Most references to the diffusers seem to boil down to "I like team X who uses the trick diffuser, so it should be legal", or "I like team Y that doesn't use the trick diffuser, so I think they should be banned". More sensible is "Charlie Whiting said the diffusers were OK, so they should be allowed." But Charlie Whiting can get it wrong, or make a decision that's inconsistent with the rules.
Has anyone seen any sophisticated analyses of the trick diffusers that discusses them in the context of the rules? Has anyone read the rules in detail and can make sensible comment? Anybody?
Personally I believe that none of us here have any real idea of whether the diffusers should be legal or not. But I'll post this to see what happens.
Edit: There's this thread over in "the pits", but no real comment on it. viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5250
