No, I meant EXACTLY what I said. All "mine damage tanking" (or, for that matter, mine damage dodge) can do is reduce the damage from mines to a ship to the minimum, the same minimum that it would get were there 5+ ships in the fleet. You cannot save ships (like frigates/minibombers/SFXes) that cannot take a minehit as part of a fleet.

Thus, mine damage dodge is banned as an unintended exploit which violates the intended rules, while "tanking" is legitimate use of knowing the algorithm code.
