It's ridiculous to keep the playing field level? It's ridiculous to keep the game moving? It's ridiculous to insure the ball entering the field is legal and undamaged?
I have never had a problem with it and it doesn't become a problem because I do strictly adhere to it. And the teams expect it especially when they intentionally get rid of a ball because they do not like it. And there is nothing to protest, as you said, it isn't a rule, just a Rule Supplement. You may get a nice talking to by the UIC, but that's about it.
