You can blame the negotiators for writing loose language, but they certainly didn't knowingly agree to have SWAPs be treated as DROPs.
Make sure your displeasure is pointed at the correct party.
It’s totally the negotiators fault and ultimately the MEC. They should never have pushed through a contract with such weak language they praised as industry leading reserve language.
