If we were defining the rules of this new-fangled game called basketball, would we want the play to be legal or illegal? How do we think the FED would rule (what is the "intent and purpose" of this rule)?

Sometimes this rule-book lawyering is mental stimuilation. Sometimes, it's mental .... well, lets just say that it might cause us to go blind.
