I think ets is here to stay, whether you are able bodied or not, it is a great tool for those less able bodied who otherwise may have to leave the sport due to the problems they incur whatever they are.
If some one is wheelchair bound and does not have the means to get access to his loft, but can still get help from family, friends or paid help even, then who are you or ME to decide the birds welfare is at risk and the guy should pack in.
If the birds are badly neglected then they will not win and may not return.
Then again highly trained and well looked after birds seem to do the same
ETS makes it a level playing field for all concerned, I think it is a great tool for everyone in the sport
ME I like your posts as it sparks debate and ideas, long may they continue
