Andy, You know, I spent a fair amount of time as junior faculty working with medical students and first year residents. Things that were well known to me were brand new to them and so at the start of every rotation I had to lay out the basics all over again. It wasn't a case of stupidity or bad intent on their part. There were just things they didn't know. The good news is the WSJT-X suite is a very popular application that gains more and more users every week. It isn't that they are not intelligent, it was just that they didn't know or understand. In a different setting, a friend not too long ago got chided for not doing something quite right. Her supervisor noted, "Well it was in a memo I sent around in 2023." Problem was my friends started in 2024.. My point is some of the basics need to be repeated over and over again. So, yes, you could make rig split or fake it mandatory. But users might not know why it is mandatory. Maybe more importantly they understand the importance of a clean signal and the role that rig split/fake it plays as a backup in case they get it wrong.
I am going to sign off for now. Andy, it's a hobby and I think we should always assume positive intent.
