Because they showed that SabreIIb couldn't bear the burden of higher boost, so the did change to Rotol airscrew, but he mentions not if that was a succsess or another failure, we don't know.
Why should I? I don't believe that myself anyway, same way I don't believe in +13lbs Tempest used operationally

Just love your logic Brain.
Did the extra boost directly cause rod, bearing or other engine component failures? NO!
Your quote of F/O Ronald Dennis of 56 Sqn says 13lb boost was used operationally.
