However what happened to GB would clearly be described as a 'mishap'. So the result doesn't even need debating and it's frankly completely unfair to the athletes to question it.
It isn't unfair at all. If you are willing to ignore sportsmanship and and choose to abuse a rule, going completely against the rule's intent, then you deserve to have your honor questioned.
