Sometimes it's helpful when you have a coach or other official that says "that's not the rule. The rule is this..." Then you can say, that was the rule until about 5 years ago.
I feel the same way with NFHS/NCAA differences. Don't dwell on NCAA rules if you are in a NFHS rules discussion, but sometimes it's helpful to know the difference so you can tell somebody that they are thinking of the wrong rulebook.
