So if you cannot understand that basic distinction, then that is fine with me.

That is all fine and good except that the POE's are exactly the opposite of what you describe them to be. They are a notice to officials that there are too many who are NOT calling the printed rule correctly. There is NO change to the rule.

Sorry if I do not accept the way the NF does everything.

And therein lies the root of inconsistency.
