If the TOR was forbidden for good reasons, Charlotte should have
simply been asked, long before the RfA, to stop using it.  I have no
doubt she would have complied with a request.  There was no need for a
revelation of information gained through use of check user tools to
sink her RfA.

That is the real Occam's razor coupled with AGF in this incident: ask
her to stop, when you first find out, explaining it is verboten, for
good reason.
