The Air Ministry gave license to violate the airworthiness of the aircraft. It is no wonder Dowding was concerned.
And yes, any pilot reading that would understand they do what they must to survive even if it means "disregarding these limitations" published in the Operating Notes.
There is no doubt that RAF pilots used whatever system was available to increase the limitations irregardless of fuel type.

Absolute nonsense - once again for your benefit Crumpp, because you clearly have trouble reading beyond your preconceptions - Dowding specifically mentions +12 lbs boost and nothing else.
All of your suppositions about what the pilots will do is just that - pure conjecture without a single shred of evidence from you showing that pilots were so used to using 87 octane that in the heat of combat they pulled emergency boost expecting to do what exactly? Boost override was not available with 87 Octane fuel - period.
You have led the same song and dance routine over this "issue' over several threads now, and it is clear you are totally obsessed with your own interpretation of things, regardless of whatever evidence is placed in front of you. Go away and waste time elsewhere - this thread was not intended to be yet another argument over what Crumpp believes about 100 octane fuel.
