I agree -- it wasn't "clear" before. So, some were calling it and some weren't. Much like the "sideways step." So, the FED made it clear in both instances. One they allowed and one they didn't. It's not what I would have done, but they didn't ask me. (And, I think the reason for making the gorilla arm illegal had to do with potential complications during the shoulder turn -- was that a feint or not with the arm hanging down?)
