2-3 states that "The referee shall make decisions on any points not specifically covered in the rules."
It is a slippery slope to use this rule to make the situation conform to one's sense of fairness when one perceives fairness to be at odds with a procedure specifically covered in the rules.
2-3 is not a royal charter, nor a grant of omnipotence to the R, nor are the rules writers authorizing a do-over.
Oh, and if someone starts lecturing me to "don't effin" this that or the other thing as the first words out of his/her mouth in pregame, I'm going to have questions about his/her professionalism.
