if Mike uses his power to re-open a verification process then he'll haveto do it for every run thats rejected and worse, those who want to verify an accepted run in an attempt to overturn it.
why?
Mike always holds the power override, he could/should have done it earlier like his intuition told him. Nothing has to be re-opened nor does that matter. Re-opening is decided on a case by case basis and SDA holds the power to do that w/e they want. However this run is accepted it has nothing to do with other runs. Just like when the president vetoes a bill it has nothing to do with future bills. JESUS CHRIST, YOU CAN'T MAKE THE SLIPPERY SLOPE ARGUMENT FOR EVERYTHING TO OPPOSE ANYTHING FROM EVER HAPPENING, but nice try.
It doesn't matter if the run didn't highly entertain you for every second of it. That's the nature of speedrunning and particularly this game. It's not possible to make a flawless run. It's easy to look back a run and say you should have done this because the AI reacted this way in hindsight, but during the run you can't make those decisions, you're not sure what's going to happen, It's a long, hard run you have to play it safe sometimes and do what's consistent, if you take every risk possible you'll never finish a run in your life-time. JUST SIMPLY NAIVE, NAIVE, NAIVE, NAIVE.
Seriously now:

If I were Mike I'd be much more concerned with giving the message to runners that if you're a talented, skilled runner and you spend hundreds of hours making a very good speed run that would be very hard to reproduce/beat by anyone, it can easily get rejected by two naive verifiers and SDA will do nothing to fix the situation.
I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO VOICE YOUR OPINION LOUDLY. BUMP THIS TOPIC AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. DON"T LISTEN TO PEOPLE TRYING TO OPPRESS GOOD CHANGES FROM HAPPENING, LET THE PUBLIC BE HEARD, POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
