I cannot endorse your comment about Mary not being able to connect the dots. There have been times when I have disagreed with Mary over philosophy, I know for a fact that she is very open to discussion. I think that you are being very unfair with your comment.

Mark, I just don't think that Mary is as rules-knowledgeable as the other members of the Rules Committee. She does a great job as "editor", but "editing" rules is completely different than "making" or "interpreting" the rules, and "editing" is her main job. That was the point that I was trying to make. There was no intent to run Mary down or slag her in any way. I've met her before and she's a very nice person.
As for your interpretation on this particular play, I can certainly see your point--but I'm really not comfortable with it for reasons that I've posted before. Blind Zebra's points seem to be closer to my own take on this one. It would be nice if the FED would address this particular play, so that we do have some guidance if it ever does come up.
