Why would you as a player be against this?
I do not play at Full Tilt because apparently creating a non money account 5 years ago that I have never even logged into prevents me from getting rakeback today. I kind of wonder about their business model at times.
I play at Stars because they offer a good selection of games I prefer, solid software, good customer service (albeit a bit cold at times), good security (RSA token for instance).
I think both are very financially secure and run their businesses with a long term plan and I cannot think of any reason why either would program their software to impact my results good or bad, and I have had some days (like today) that would make the most crazed riggedologist's head spin.
Their deals are fair in my opinion (for a variety of common sense and business reasons I have stated before) so it is not a deep concern to me to know the details of how their software works, because I have faith that it is a fair game. If there are flaws they are the first to rush to fix it (heads up sit and go mess at Stars is a recent example).
I am not against whatever random audits you are talking about (and to be blunt I doubt you really have a clue what you even want). I am fairly indifferent to them because they are not something I am concerned about.
If YOU are deeply concerned about it then do something about it. Propose exactly what you want to see done, in very specific details, and research to find out what is being done and what needs to be done and why.
Otherwise you are merely another person with a "thought experiment" who will never act on it.
No one is against "audits." Many just do not care for good reason. That's all. If you care, act on it. Have fun with it.
