I don't disagree with either of these; I just don't think they have anything to do with each other.

If they knew what they were doing, they'd produce consistent results, and different FCEs would, by and large, agree. We've seen that's not the case for many years, going at least as far back as John Bear testing different FCEs on how they evaluated the Heriot-Watt MBA.
That said, I agree with you that ENEB made a big mistake introducing that single exam if their goals included being respected. But things like AI vulnerabilities and other poor curricular design are found across the board these days. It's a pervasive problem throughout higher education.
