ASA may have messed up on the call to certify the RocketTech bat. Is it too late to get the cows back in the barn?

I've been explaining this for a couple of years now and will probably have to continue doing so forever.
It is not a matter of ASA certifying anything. If the bat passes the test, it is legal. There are not different tests for different bats, they all go through the same thing.
There is a legal issue with a bat or two coming up near the end of June, but I do not believe the Rocket Tech is involved.
I agree the pitcher's plate should be moved back.
