I was not trying to demonstrate superior knowledge of the game at all. Rather my point was that it is important to realize the difference. Maybe a discussion for another thread, but some fields/stadiums have pecularities that cannot be answered by rule thus ground rules cover the gaps. This, however, is something that is covered in the rules, should be ruled on accordingly and cannot be set aside by a ground rule.
