Face it, ASA made an incorrect - wrong - statement in their POE and they need to fix it.
Tom,

No one even insinuated this, just showed that it isn't much, if any, better than the subject of your complaint.

I don't believe this is an "incorrect statement" when taken as a whole with the rest of the POE and rule. The sentence you question is simply a part of a paragraph demonstrating the change in the coaching philosophy effected by the change in the rule.

Should it be clarified? IMO, only for those who choose not to read the entire rule and POE.
