Phil, and the two headed monster

Much seems to be being made, as we cruise into Masters week, of Phil Mickelson and his two drivers. Apparently he has two in his bag, one helps him draw the ball better and the other helps him fade it, or something like that, based on weights inside the club. He uses each when they are to his advantage.

Well, so what? The rules say he can carry a maximum of 14 clubs. If he wanted to carry 14 drivers, he might be an idiot, but he'd be a legal idiot. He carries more than one iron because the same swing produces different (longer or shorter) results. Same with wedges. Why is this any different? Some are questioning it on an ethical plane, but I don't see where ethics have anything to do with it. He carries two of his fourteen legal clubs for different situations. What's the big deal?
