It has nothing to do with being wrong. It has to do with the information you can verify. If you have a standard and you do not bother to put on any current literature we have or you cannot put in in a place that anyone can easily review, then you are undermining that position. If I have to go back in a 5-year-old rulebook that I might not even have in my possession anymore, then we have a problem. I just moved recently and I had some old rulebooks I have not seen in years. I did not go back in them to verify old interpretations that might still be there. If they complain that officials are not applying rules and interpretations, then you cannot take away known interpretations that you still want to hold onto and not put them in your current literature. Not everyone reads this site.

Peace
