Dave was not intending shadows to be the industry standard, although it seems like some of you seem to think - again tongue-in-cheek - that it would work better than the current technology.

Is the suggestion that this race was not truly a dead heat? If so, why?
The controversy was it somehow took 12 minutes to declare it a dead heat, and then the silly "explanation" by the steward.
