I think it does a poster no good to give him a black-and-white rules answer and then not discuss the intracacies involved. You and I both know what the rules say as do many of the other people that post here. To quote the rules and not put in any real-world context does a newer official a disservice.
Here's an example: Let's say a poster asks -- The R finds the book does not have the starters marked at the 9:30 mark. What do you do?
Do you tell him that it is an administrative technical foul or do you mention some preventive alternatives?
