Have the FIA and ACO admitted yet that their "data logger system" is complete joke yet btw?

Doug Fehan had interesting comment on Thursday.
“When we first started coming here, we ran off a simple table: weight, displacement, restrictor and then run what you brung. That was an interesting form of racing, but looking at the level of sophistication of today’s vehicles, the different configurations, front, rear and mid-engined, flat sixes, V6s, turbos, V8s – if we went flat-out, head-to-head, we’d just bring a Corvette Z06 and there wouldn’t be a series. We experienced that in the US in GT1: Aston, Porsche, Saleen: everybody came to run against us and we ultimately beat them all – we ended GT1 in the US. So trying to balance the different platforms is probably a pretty good idea.”
"Probably"... ...
