If he is right then the lockout can be removed without issue.
If he is wrong they will remove the lockout and CE will no longer be a bragworthy achievement.
So let’s assume he’s right. Let’s assume that it can’t be done in a PuG. Why not remove the lockout?
This circular logic is reminiscent of the arguments I would have with people facing cognitive dissonance.
The truth is, whether anyone is willing to own up to it, is that the only reason people want the lockout to remain is that they’re in a fairly exclusive club and they don’t want that exclusivity to be removed. The truth is that if they removed the lockout than we’d probably see a ton of people buying Mythic Gallywix kills for $50. The truth is that it can be pugged if people were allowed to drop and join groups as needed or make more than one attempt at a boss per week.
It’s the Roster Boss.
If I’m wrong, remove the lockout and there will be no change. But I’m not wrong and everybody knows it if they could get over their own cognitive dissonance.
