MTD,
If I were interested enough I could dig out my old college texts and identify the exact name of the logical falicy you have perpetrated in this thread.
To compare the legal and ethical obligations of a licensed professional engineer that are mandated, often by law, to prevent the loss of potentially billions of dollars in investment capital and lost human lives to a ruling from a league about unsportsmanlike behavior is an absurdity of unimaginable proportion.
The inescapable consequences that follow the ignoring of the laws of physics, or the just retribution of a society's legal system upon those who violate its laws cannot possibly be compared to some rec league board deciding to alter the rules of a game.
To suggest that any official should refuse to comply with the board's desires based upon such incredibly flawed logic is as absurd as the comparison made to justify it.
