Response to Arkanoid 2 banned technique vote?

I may have the world record for the original Arkanoid game, but unfortunately I never had access to a revenge of Doh. I did play it off and on, but never beat the game with 1 credit. I didn't know about the big points stage untill I saw a inp from German Krool. I don't think this method should be banned because even know you get alot of points on this stage, it's a situation where you can't stay there forever and it not in harms way. The records on this game back in the late 80's made the Twin Galaxies Scoreboard using this technique. That would be like saying in Arkanoid, a player cannot use all his extra men he earned throughout the game on the last boss to gain 15k for each one he has in reserve. I have gotten over 500k from doing this and it is perfectly legal. If a player like German Krol could use the technique and pull off millions and millions of points, well then that's a different story. I figured a really good game will be somewhere between 1.5M ~ 1.8M. Maybe 2M, but not 15M and 10 hours later.
