I was trying to avoid legalistic commentary! I mean to obtain some benefit having invoked the clause that would not otherwise have been given. That benefit could be the reasonable efforts of of BA to secure alternative travel without re-calculating the fare.

So does anyone know of any examples where someone has been delayed, mentioned this clause and then got transported on a later service without additional charge? It would be really helpful to have a list of successes and failures. For now it looks like a long list of failed or untested scenarios.
