Grant – With what I am about to say, you may get the impression I don’t agree with the philosophy – I do. The problem is it is a philosophy written by and for another set of rules. I have never seen anything from the NF in support of or denouncing the philosophy. And portions of the philosophy are contradictory to NF rules as written.
I agree with Bob M, until the NF addresses this by rule and with case plays, it will continue to be discussed without resolution on this board and others. The only philosophy I can derive from the NF is to go with your gut.
