I..Their aim is to signify remarkable loyalty over a long period of time regardless of current status, but at the same time they're telling you that they will be totally indifferent to you if you don't continue to fly very often? That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense and questions the whole idea...

I guess the message is: "we didn't really think this through, it got out of hand, and in the end we decided to continue our policy not to extend any respect to customers we essentially regard as riff-raff".

How may stars can an FTL have?
M&M is 20 years old .. so they must be SEN from 1993 to 2004, then HON 3004--2011, then SEN 2011-2013, then FTL (since Feb).
So 1.2.1993-31.1.2004 is 4016 days as SEN
then 1.2.2004-31.1.2011 2556 days as HON
then 730 days as SEN and 284 days as FTL
That is 17444 points or 3 stars.

with your permission:

then 1.2.2004-31.1.2011 2556+730+284= 3570 days as HON
That's 18742 points.
But I think we've got a good pool of potential future 5 stars_everything here:

To be fair ... they also treated me as riff-raff when I credited 250K miles a year to my SEN account ...

The starting date to calculat the stars is clear. How about the end date?
Does LH Count until the date the card was issued or until the status is prolonged? That is roughly a 700 day difference!
Oops found it: "If an additional star is awarded during the status term, the status cardholder will receive this with their next status renewal"
I am totally disappointed I missed to get 2 stars in February 2014 by lousy 800 points. Now I have to wait until Feb 2016.
