My overall feeling is that they are creating a bigger problem with the confusion that will result with this language change (it is going to be READ by most as a rule change IMO) - than they are solving.

I've already given you the "argument", there is no more, just the word being in one place and not the other.
My side of the issue was pretty much what you are stating above. In the world of black and white umpiring, this change is going to cause more trouble than anything it can remotely resolve.
