Are you arguing, or trying to understand?

It's not MY definition. It's THE definition. This is not a perceptional or optional thing for the scorekeeper. It's the RULE.

And yes ... the starter would get the loss in that situation.

And no... I don't care if you don't think that's right, I didn't write the rule.
