Ok, now take the scenario where my competitor and I have identical shocks 
which cannot be adjusted at the event unless an access port is cut.  He does 
it, I don't.  We both have major oversteer after first runs, running 
equivalent times.  He adjusts his rear shocks.  I can't.
On second and third runs his times are .2 faster than mine.  I protest.
Do you still see that as illegal but immaterial?  It's by no means a 
far-fetched scenario...
