That wasn't the claim. It's more like saying "if this photo was such a smoking gun, why didn't he or TG use it?"
The argument here wasn't that it proves or disproves cheating, but rather Jobst just talks out of his ass while omitting inconvenient information. I mentioned this when the photo first came out. The color of the knob/lever doesn't matter. What matters is the underlying mechanism. For all we know, it was the original joystick with only the physical lever being replaced. Though Billy brought up a point I hadn't considered before which was you could just not connect the diagonal inputs so the stick would behave as a 4 way even if it was an 8 way joystick.
Basically that photo & Jobst's video on it was a blatant attempt to push bullshit to a crowd that was ignorant of electronic hardware and he knew it.
It's scary how manipulative he was for years.
