I do wish the GDC had made what I think is the proper distinction between "command" and "control". I still hold some hope that they will find a way to change their answer without seeming capricious.
I'm hoping this was what the GDC meant in their reply, as we really enjoyed using the on board PID control in the Jaguars last year.
