I believe this is a fair implication of Boneheadness on Rossi's part...........Anyway clutching at straws by saying that the move was desperate is really quite petty, and then adding levels of desperation like you have above-note your preference is 'controlled desperation' is even more petty. Not too mention a little arrogant to suggest you know how someone like VR 'should' have been feeling and acting on track to suit your standards
I believe that all of the riders in Motogp should be absolutely desperate to win, this is why they are there. Controlling that desperation-as you say is the key to safer racing. But of course the former should outweigh the latter in the case above -otherwise we aren't seeing a race, but moreover a controlled display of riding. And Rossi has proved time and ,and time again that he can pass safely and successfully whether it's motives lie in desperation or not, which is of course impossible to prove unless you are Rossi.
So when you unequivocally state that 'rossi move on hayden was desperate' and then state that 'desperation can lead to bone head moves' then if we are considering the weekends race and the passes executed by rossi in that race, as I said you would have to then label all of the others riders I previously mentioned and more as 'Desperate' and 'capable of Bonehead moves', as many of them have executed passes similar and worse even-then the only thing different is they didn't/haven't/aren't suffering the same ridicule from albeit-and thankfully-a very select minority.
Have faith Gaz, and don't doubt that these guys are Desperate, as they should be, and the best know how to control it to win, certainly to much greater levels than you and I can ever imagine or comprehend.
EDIT: Nah stuff it, couldn't be bothered
