This is what I talk about as to being a rulebook official.

You are reading way too much into the situation. The interpretations in no way address this situation. As I have said I have never seen such a play to where I think it was a problem. If you feel it is, call that. I would really like you to be able to explain that to someone that hires you for games. I understand that you might think something is wrong with this action. Being an official is also being able to sell what we call as much as it is showing we know what the rules say. I do not see anyone else calling this a T but you. If you are alright with that, then be a maverick and do not be surprise if you might not be asked back. From my point of view all you are doing is proving you read the rulebook. You are not proving to me you are using any common sense or applying the intent of the rules committee.
