LesniHU,
From my standpoint you are 110% right. I trust better a quality controlled teamwork, as DT looks to do, than the goodwilling but uncontrolled acts of isolated individuals, especially when touching delicate areas as FM and DM.
So if a guy says "my new P51 now works better than the stock one, I simply corrected a wrong figure in the code", I start raising my hairy eyebrows. Who controlled it ? Where is the independent check ? Where are figures before and after ? My idea: if it is so simple, DT will quickly acknowledge it and fix it.

In general, if someone has a point, the burden of proof lies with him: semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit.
[\lawyer mode off]
It is a matter of simple logics and common sense, aka scientific method.
Regards,
Insuber

No one claims DT is perfect because we make mistakes too. But we spend a lot of time to make sure that output is bugfree, well-founded and as good as possible (and I have same attitude to forum posts and expect similar from other posters too. You post it, you are responsible.). Origin of bugreport has no effect on its verification/fixing effort, but I hope everyone understand we always have to make independent evaluation of everything simply because we are responsible for patch content. I hope this clears a bit of the confusion.
