To use your analogy, you would give every athlete the right to stop
every other athlete and demand a drug test ?

You know these tests are done by the Olympic committee or other official
bodies. What if every athlete would say: "Hey ! I and my doctor are
experts in doping ! We know of 60 drugs the Olympic committee hasn't
heard of. Anyway I don't trust the committee. I want the gold medalist
tomorrow morning in my doctor's office."

It's up to the organization doing the tests (SSDF) to make sure that
everything is done in good order. You know they can get any advice they
want if they ask for it (including from you). If the autoplayer is an
important user feature, let the buyers disapprove (to your advantage).
In your position, you are the wrong person to complain about this.

If you won't trust the SSDF on this issue, why would you trust them on
any other, including the list itself ?
