And as for "a rose by...", well, I could claim any kind of engine mapping system etc or adjustable diff was traction control and cheating if I wanted, the point is the written rule! Every team tried ways to improve traction with traction control banned, that's not cheating!

I know what some of the teams have done directly and some indirectly because I work in F1 and I have friends who do as well, and also you can just read some of the press releases directly from teams.
You can't make that argument for traction control because TC is defined as a closed loop sytem. A TC sytem then has to have a feedback where it takes acount of wheelspeed to tell the ECU to ignore what the driver does and fix the slip. Thus a computer interviens. Anything you do with mapping engines and diffs isn't a closed loop system. You might argue its helps the driver, just like expo on a RC handset. But the rules in F1 and RC or anywhere don't class mapping movement as a electronic driver aid.
