You are correct. You'll find that many rules are written in a compact and simple manner...without fully detailing all possibilities. You often have to understand what the purpose of the rule is in order understand all the scenarios that it applies to (or doesn't apply to). The letter of the rule is not alway sufficient to properly apply the rule. This is necessary in order to prevent the rulebook from rivaling the US Tax Code.
