You agree that the current interpretation is different from what you claim is the original intent of the rules. Thus, the burden of proof is on YOU to demonstrate that the interpretation has changed over the years, not on everyone else to prove that it did NOT change.

Please note that it is not sufficient to claim that the interpretation MIGHT have been different, which is entirely consistent with the fact that it HAS NOT.
