If I recall the very long and controversial thread several weeks ago, it was this "common sense" thing that was most at issue.
Some argued that you can only do what the letter of the rules allows you to do - others argued there can/should be allowance for doing "the right thing" or what is in the best "spirit of the game".
In this case, I think my partner and I were able to both follow the rule interpretation, and do the right thing.
