Yes. And if you do not believe me, read 4-27.

Well based on what you just said, I would contend that you could have an advantage.

But hey, me being wrong isn't be a first, and you can bet your mortgage it won't be the last.

It is great to have opinions, but what you said is not how the rules read. And having said all of that, some will interpret the rules differently based on many factors. What I am telling you is the rules do not consider contact illegal unless there is an advantage created. And that involves judgment of course and even the severity of the contact does not make the action illegal. Once again, read 4-27 and come back to the site and tell me where your rules support for your statement lies.
