I'm perfectly comfortable explaining my interpretation and standing behind it.
You can make up all the silly imaginary responses you like, imitating prosecutors ( you don't seem cut out for that), even playing the role of English teachers and the only impressions you are making are with yourselves.
All any one of you, or all of you together if you feel safer, have to do to persuade me is present a reasonable, rational argument, suggest some reason why your interpretation makes any sense related to the game or relate some logic to your interpretation. Thus far none of you have come anywhere close to being competent to do that, any of that.
When one of you matures enough to try and put forth a cogent, rational explantion of your position, without trying to be a smart a$$, do feel free to get back to me. However, until you can muster up that ability, or some level of competence, do yourselves a favor and don't waste your time, or mine, with the same old repackaged nonsense. It doesn't float (because it won't float).
I can understand your ambivalence and frustration in trying to convince yourselves that buying into such a contradictory notion, without any sense of understanding or explanation makes sense, but your inability to mount any type of persuasive argument supporting your position, should give you all the pause you need to try and think your position through.

We have done this over and over again quoting rules verbatim and giving you specific examples that are generally accepted by almost every official and you dismiss them because you don't agree with them. There is nothing I can do to spell this out any more black and white than I have.
I also notice you have failed to answer any of my direct questions so I will try again.
Do you ever get into arguments with the other members of your high school varsity crew about rules questions?
What position do you work on your crew?
Why do the other people on here call you Alf?
