but it isn't bullshit. The entire pad would get dirty. It just isn't sitting "level". Like a rotating/variable heel mode.
I wasn't there when God designed it with John but I assume it was done to reduce contact due to some issue (fiber damage?) rather than a plan to have "tamping action" (new bug becomes feature).
whether that ends up cleaning better or worse I can't say.

So the "bent handle" fiasco made them wiser.
Remembering the marketing adage "turn flaws into features", the missing washer is now a "tamping feature".

I wouldn't even know the tamping action was there, the machine runs VERY smooth and cleans remarkably well.

The whole Idea that this is designed to lift anything out is bs imo. Hell, the very term implies the opposite. Besides, this would be more correctly be described as a wobble anyway and far more likely to have been "designed" to prevent fiber distortion/damage.....something heavy OP machines are known for**......
**but don't take my word for it "Plus, Trinity machines are MUCH SAFER for the carpet fibers than other machines. There’s no tip blooming like other competitors machines cause.

I would guess that the Oreck is more guilty of fiber damage.
No additional lube and needed to go over and over and over to get a somewhat decent result.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdeT6YHiYCc&t=73s

Who said anything about the oreck?
"Plus, Trinity machines are MUCH SAFER for the carpet fibers than other machines. There’s no tip blooming like other competitors machines cause. "
something you have mentioned many times yourself btw.
I'm saying that the purpose of the bias is to prevent distortion, possibly in combination with the larger orbit, while increasing speed not some magical wet dirt levitating trick*.
So modifying it so it act like other machines probably isn't a good idea.
*there was a rug beating attachment....not sure if it was ever produced but that is different.

Modifying it to act like a lesser OP by removing the washer?

You would until you tried them all side by side on the same carpet, like I have.

welp, I'm just a dumb wall paper hanger .....
so I have to ask.... is that a"good" thing to bounce grit up to fiber tops that are getting a DA grinder rub scrub?

I think any damage that happens with an OP machine is caused by misusing it. I don't believe OP machines should be used on residential cut pile carpet. On any carpet, make sure you have enough solution down to lubricate the fibres. Guys that post pad to get better drying times are probably damaging the carpet.

right...
Try it...
Unless you like the idea of your pad never truly being fully on the carpet.

You can't really believe that.
Spin a penny, then watch toward the end where it rides its edges until it come to rest.
That's all the magical tamping is... smoke and mirrors to take some friction away from the driver so it spins faster.
It's cleans better without it.
We must not forget it wasn’t long ago when the founder of the TRS technology was made fun of for making outlandish claims.
The technology is the same, only ownership has changed (allegedly).

Is the washer thicker than a pad?
