Right on Earl; well said. Recently  I had a conversation with a young top 
pilot who suggested to me that the newer wide bodied models score better than 
the older toothpick types, due to judge perception or preference. I asked him 
to show me where it says that in the rule book. 

I am pointing this out, particularly with the Nats right around the corner, 
that IF we have this kind of perception out there, please recalibrate 
yourselves. It doesn't matter what a pilot flies or who the pilot is. If they 
fly it well, please give them the score, and vice versa
