A racer's "job" is to look for and gain every advantage. He's not looking to level the playing field, but to gain an advantage.

Now we're talking about taking one advantage away. This rule would help about 50% of the racers and hinder about 50% of the racers. What could be more fair?

However I can understand the 50% that it would hinder bitching about "Just leave things the way they were. We don't need any more changes." It's not to their advantage to make things more fair.
