Anyway, we know for a fact that there was something different with the B194. Launch Control software was found in the source code. We also know it could be activated. And that the way to activate it was hidden in a menu on the software on the laptop, in a way that was deliberately concealing it. We also know that Benetton missed the date when they were meant to give the FIA access to the source code, which gave them several more months, thus allowing potential changes to the software on the car, and the laptop controlling it.
There's no proof the car ever used the software. But it was on the car. It was on the laptop. Benetton delayed the FIA seeing the software, and then the FIA did see the software, they found the concealed options.
If you honestly believe, knowing what we know about Flavio and the way he operated, that none of this was used...well.

What you've said is a common feeling upon first hearing the theory and about Flavio / Singapore 2008 etc all of that is discussed in within the book. Indeed after detailing BOTH sides of the argument and any theories the book invites readers to make the their own minds up...so make of that what you will.
EVERYBODY finds its difficult to change their opinion on something they have believed for years the book's motto "no point having a mind, unless you are willing to change it". You need to read the book it orginates from to FULLY understand the evidence and the left foot braking theory (as you said the article is poorly written). There's a free sample of the book here;
