Both sides have merit, and nothing has changed, so why was it necessary to ask it again?
For the same reason BktBallRef posts his - to educate.
There's a big difference between repeat postings of quizzes that deal with situations that have concrete yes or no answers and having a cause against the vagueness of certain areas of the rule book.
This play is not far-fetched. I think it's useful for officials to be prepared - to have encountered in advance - plays that may come up. Know what you're going to call and call it - then get the ball back in play as fast as possible.

Do I have a "cause against the vagueness of certain areas of the rule book"? Sure. I think it hurts the game that the rules are not better drawn. I'm not unaware of, or unsympathetic about, how difficult the task of rationalizing, recodifying, etc. would be. but it can be done, and I think they ought to do it.
