I think it is a universal consensus that the OBR rule book could be written a lot better. Sometimes it isn't such a bad idea to go outside the box to make an improvement. I recall avidly reading the Bill James Baseball Abstracts when they first came out, what was it, about three decades ago? He was ridiculed and scoffed at. He "never played the game, what could he possibly know?" It turns out he knew a lot and he literally changed the face of the game.
