Some things you do not need to see both sides. Not sure why that would be an issue in the first place. Many of us have been around to see these rules evolve. I do not like the fact these are rules, but they were developed over my career. Heck I remember when socks were regulated as in what logo could be on them and how we had to navigate those items for about a year or two.
The point BNR is trying to make, when you get an answer from people you requested (many have been working 20 or more years) it is not a good look to debate with their perspective. And it is really bad to argue with a rule that is written clearly and people have seen why the rule was put in the book in the first place. And unlike when I started, the NF did not have a working relationship with the Referee/NASO where they put out a guide that describes the reason for rules changes. There was also not the social media that could discuss these things in detail either. That is why people can confidently talk about the differences in these items and how they do or do not fall under the same restrictions.
