Billy, my understanding of that particular passage is that it's used to prevent players from using loopholes to gain an advantage.

While the application of this particular rule sometimes hinges on an advantage, its definition does not include such wording. To me, a "myths" list should stick to the way the rule is written, and if you want to add a sentence on application, then advantage could be a part of that. Even then, I'd qualify by saying "in some areas, officials look for an advantage before calling it." Do you wait for an advantage before calling a travel? OOB? Illegal dribble? Backcourt violation?
