For example, the barking dog distraction, on its own, is not obviously against any rule that I can find...but they want it whistled as a T. There are other examples. I view a purposeful attempt to cheat like this in the same vein....it doesn't belong in the game and should be addressed whether there is a specific rule against it or not. But again, you better be 100% sure.
