I can't see many reasons why a -f JoaT should be relatively weaker against other -f races.
What could there be ?
The "Start at 4" is one less option/advantage you can take as you start with fewer expensive techs.
Indeed as an IS starting on all techs 0 I felt I rapidly caught people up on tech, so maybe any starting tech is less of an advantage to those who get it.
However it still gets the pop bonus, which in effect is upto 20% more income as the game proceeds.
Can't see the disadvantage of inherent pen scanning.

(I can see the disadvantage of not having it after this game).

As far as RWIAB is concerned, I think it is just that we all thought "everyone else will take JoaT and I want to be different".
Or did Kurt mention in the early game spiel that he'd like to see PRT's other than JoaT and that if we all sent in a JoaT then we might not be accepted for the game ?
