Not the point I was discussing with Yamaka, whom I have always found to be eminently reasonable but who seemed to be buying into the argument about MM being at fault and not being entitled to race Valentino, which is somewhat tangential to what you are now raising.
I continue to believe that a rider is always entitled (pretty well mostly obliged actually) to race legally for position, and that moral obligation to a contender extends only to not taking him out by a rash/unfeasible move cf Pedrosa/Hayden 2006, which was amplified by them being team mates.
Ask Gaz who has been a steward whether the penalty was insufficient. Purely imo the stuff from Mike Webb about MM's contribution on this occasion is nonsense, for the reasons you have said, since the evidence apparently included data obtained by reading MM's mind as you say.
