Well, that's a medical journal which IMO is a totally different writing style. The rule book is written more like a power point presentation- with "bullets" of information.

What I'm saying is that they are making less "bullets" and not spacing the rules properly and condensing the "bullets" into long run-on sentences which are (poorly) broken up with semi-colons.

A prime example of this would be 8-4-2g in your FED book
