Relax, archer... I think you just touched a button with a number of the umpires here by asking a question that clearly sounded like a parent asking for a clarification that impacted their DD.
You see, we get these questions all the time, and we hate getting dragged into a fight that's not ours. It's kind of like the mechanic (or, in my case, computer tech) who always gets asked "what's wrong with this?" In the end, we get dragged into it, and it kind of gets old.
So take my apology for what it's worth, and take all of this with a grain of salt.
We're not a bad bunch, really!
