What was it that Captain Jack said years ago about the AHFS - an automatic system will never, ever work?

Put another way - if AHFS actually worked at Indy, would we still have 20+ cars at -1.20+ under and another 60+ at -1.00+ every year? The "mineshaft" rule didn't help either, because Indy always became a "mineshaft" even in 95+ degree air. So, everybody could already go -1.00+ without flagging their combo for more HP. What's the point?

The AHFS is almost worthless when there are so few reasons for someone to run it out the back door. Especially now, when NHRA publishes the "Slow Averages" every 3 months so everybody knows exactly how much to sandbag to avoid getting hit with HP.
