Maybe I misstated it, then; or was unclear. The NGB's mission, to provide a team to represent the USA, would lead the association to attempt to maintain similar rules; just as pitching distance is attempted to match ISF distances. My intent was to indicate he is foolish to suggest that ASA should leave that thought pattern, to dumb down a rule he can't understand.
While I generally agree that high school doesn't exactly lead to NCAA, NFHS thinks it does. Certainly the high school coaches believe they do more to get girls in colleges than travel ball. With that thought process, again foolish to suggest that NFHS will dumb down their rule to the older, more restrictive DH rule.
