I would do the converse.
I would stop denying that TL=G is possible ... or exists at all ...
But hey, that's just me.
LBB2 (77 and 81) both stop the progression of computer models with 7 (at TL=D) ... and don't include fib options either (which makes sense in a small ship universe that doesn't have to worry about Radiation Hits to craft).
Hence why the (supposedly) TL=F Kinunir class of 1200 ton starships has only a model/7 (+model/3 backup) computer installed in it, rather than a "proper" model/9fib computer. You can't build (yourself) what the rules don't include ... and the Kinunir class of LBB A1 was very obviously designed using LBB2 as the foundation (with bits of LBB5 "pirated" into the design specs as a patch update), rather than being a "clean sheet" LBB5.80 design spec sheet (which then later cause "version problems" with the LBB S9 data entry that required LBB5.80 paradigm changes).
At most I'm saying that there was "a better way" to handle some of the details provided in LBB2, thanks to the benefits of hindsight.
I'm NOT saying that LBB2-3 (as is) ought to be chucked in the bin because they aren't "perfect enough" to play with.
