I believe the way it is being presented doesn't make that distinction at times.
I must be among the minority, but I feel it is an excellent point, as is your other point here. If the correct distinction is made when presenting it, we can have more consistent and proper application of the rule.

Fortunately, we were recently blessed with a regional clinic in Region 15 which included Wild Bill, Malcolm, JJ and Kevin...and while I would never speak for them, they presented it with proper distinction.
