Your arguments are certainly valid. When you look at it like that it really does seem absurd. I sometimes think the people making up these rules are very old and very out of touch with the modern game of basketball. But this is what we signed up to do - uphold these rules that they come up with.
I'm still very happy that I don't have to deal with a gray area of figuring out what a bicep band is, as opposed to a sweatband. We don't allow either above the elbow. Until they change the rule, that's what I'm going to do.
