I doubt that the decision will be made by just one person who is not aware of how PB works. I also doubt it would be only one person who thought about and finaly contracted with Even Balance, Inc. to integrate punkbuster™ Anti-Cheat software into the game.I would think that it goes through several steps to finalize and workout, as well their last action.
Either way, it does not look like they are going to revert their "mistake", that might be too expensive.
