What happens if you play a game on a mound that is too tall?
Does the game's result become invalid?
Was your insurance actually voided in that game?
Does your association lower your ranking for post-season assignments?
For a "rule" to have any real significance, there has to be a penalty. In Canadian football, the rulebook states that the field shall be 65 yards wide. But are we not going to play because a field is 68 yards wide? Nope. And there is nothing that either team can do about it, either. Our insurance stays valid, too.
Like I said, there has to be some sort of effect other than "so what" in order for it to matter that a mound is too high.
