I just happen to notice an issue with wording that kinda relates to circular reasoning with the disposal/count thread. Where in the rule book is blowing the whistle required? Also, the case provided directly indicated to blow the whistle and made no mention of stopping the clock. Perhaps Rule 5-8 Art 2 c,d apply to this case but there is no mention of blowing the whistle. If we stuck to the actual case reading, we would not stop the clock.

I'm thinking the case play really needs to read that the official "..shall stop the clock..."

Another circular item perhaps? lol.

If all that has to be spelled out we are in trouble.
