Yeah, and ask yourself.  Is the effect of Kobe, Shaq, MJ, Magic, Bird fouling
out detrimental to the allure of the game?  No.  It is a team sport.  People
have their favorite players, but they will continue to root for the team to
win.  And in the NBA, and similar sports, the star played in that game.  The
fans got to see them perform. This is track and field.  In the 100 m there is
a 15 minute window you get to see the star.  There is 10 second window you
get to see the star perform.  If you are lucky enough to be at a meet with
rounds, you get to see them twice for 20 seconds.  It is not the same thing.  
You eliminate Marion from the race on one false start, she is gone!  You are
left nothing.  We are trying to gain fans not lose them.  
And I would like someone to tell me where false starts hurt a track meet?  
People who want to complain will remember the 3 false starts from Atlanta,
and Linford.  But the rest of us remember the wr.  Yeah, remember that.  That
meet turned out pretty good, as I remember it!
