Apologies to the "dead horse" we're beating. Isn't language (words) supposed to explain a rule, rather than trying to adjust the meaning of the rule to fit differences of opinion about the propriety of the language?
2-41-1:"The basic spot is a
point of reference for penalty enforcement.
"ABO" is a consistent reference for a set of
specifically defined penalties. Wouldn't the specific identification for the "point of reference for
(THEIR UNIQUE) penalty enforcement be
THEIR "basic spot"?
