Please show the evidence for a single Merlin engine ever being fielded with a boost control cutout modified for 9lbs boost. I may then consider this hypothesis of yours for an argument.
But IF we were talking hypotheticals, it's still totally absurd to assume that the boost control cut out has no effect if used under full throttle conditions. What a bunch of idiots the engineers must have been.
Curious to see evidence.
