Unless you were just being funny,  |
You and I know it's insignificant, since we know the rule. If you don't know the rule, then anything you do amounts to making up a rule. You're just lucky if you happen to guess right.
My point was the advice you gave is not much help. When something happens on the field, you have to make some kind of ruling. If you don't know the rule, then telling you not to make up rules provides no direction.
Of course, if your real advice is to learn the rules so as not to end up in this position, that's hard to argue with.
