Yes and I hope you understand I am poking fun at the rule book as this is just another example where wording is not always absorbed the same by all the readers!

For example the current wording on page 97 of 2008 Rules Book (or 94 in 2009 Rules Book):
6. Illegal block below waist or on free-kicker or holder 9-3-2, 4 - 40

Could be re-placed with:
6. Illegal Block: a) Block below the waist, b) Illegal block of a free kicker, c) Illegal block of a free kick holder 9-3-2, 4 - 40

Sometimes just converting the topic into a 'list" rather than a long sentence with multiple "or" usage makes it easier to comprehend.

You may have noticed the committee has made some of these conversions in recent years, and my crystal ball predicts you will see even more in the 2009 Rules Book.
