No one is going to take your word for that Don. Publish the emails - or are
they secret?

I read the FLARM published information differently and I quote from the
FTD14 document:

'Stealth mode. Instructs all receiving FLARM devices that the received data
must not be made accessible (...to display devices) in real-time full
precision, except for the purpose of collision warning.'

This does NOT say that the transmitted data is degraded. You would appear
to be promulgating a myth.

Whether the information is not transmitted, not received, or simply not provided for display is of identical consequence, operationally.

I think this is not true, based upon the above.
If my information is sent, it is available, with limitations to my competitors using Stealth, and is available to all others in range without such limitations.
