Must be nice to be so freakin up on that high horse.
The point here is, if you get caught doing 56, you don't really have a defense. The other guy was doing x is irrelevant.

No one is saying that you should automatically get caught. The sizer is stupid, we all know that. But it is the rule, just like a dumb low speed limit on a road that can be way higher - push the limit until you can, but if you get caught - too bad.

I don't think FT overall acts like they never do anything wrong. The point many posters made is that this is the rule, flaunt it as it's stupid albeit at your own risk, if you get caught - too bad.

"I've always done 10 over on this road" is a losing defense for speed limits. The same applies here.
