Yep. Obviously the RO should be told "for information".
It brings to mind an infamous English Champs race where a blatant short cut was taken right at the end by two runners to win and come second despite the RO having made it abundantly clear on the start line before the "off" that an area was out of bonds. After a complaint was made the RO "didn't want to know" (I was there) and it went to the FRA Committee to resolve because of the champ. points issue.
Even with flags the precise status of the flags on "flagged routes" is rarely accurately specified.
I don't think we pay ROs well enough.![]()
