It just seems strange that the most accurate charger on the market is going to be used to charge batteries to 8.44, rather than the 8.40 intended by the rules. I suppose the "calibration" argument is okay, but who are we kidding? You yourself said racers "demanded" it, and we know it wasn't because it had problems getting to 8.40 each time.
I just don't think it's right to take the high road on the one hand, and say we should abide by the rules, and then make thinly-veiled excuses for CE with the calibration argument, when it's obvious what they're really doing.
