Since the pad was substantially damaged, far more that from
a shuttle flight with ...two...such solids, the question becomes
did this maneuver work as intended.....obviously not.


Wrong conclusion. The better conclusion is one that's already been made.
Remove the tower and build a specific Ares tower.



Can you document any statement saying that launch pad
was never to be used again dated ....before.... the launch?

No, I can't find such a document because that's not what I said. I said the
TOWER is not to be used again. There's quite a few mentions of this. And
LC-39B is designated for Ares-I with LC-39A as primary for Ares-V and a
backup to Ares-I.
