Why haven't you figured out that I agree with almost everything that you say? Maybe tunnel vision?

I did not think the issue was who agreed or disagreed. Maybe you have a reading problem.

Then why did you bring them up? Again, just like when you post a picture about a non-related topic. But that is what you do (like the Geico commercial).

I do not care what the NF does, they currently have no specific handling of this situation. Is that not true? I do not see a rule or mechanics reference that suggests we do anything either way. We are again left to our opinion and our practices that we decide to use. That is the only point I have ever made here. You keep talking about other issues.

It's my opinion (based on some factual examples of rules that we very rarely see) that the NFHS will consider a rule change on several factors and will not automatically not consider a rule change just because it only happens only once in a blue moon. They might consider various factors like impact on the game, costs, impact on existing rules, unintended consequences, simplicity of enforcement, integrity of the game, advantage, disadvantage, improving the game, etc., but they won't automatically not consider a rule change just because it only happens infrequently. Now if it never happens, and the NFHS believes that it never will happen, then I agree with you, that it wouldn't be considered, but the topic of this thread does happen, very rarely, almost never, but not never.
Will the NFHS consider a rule change if the situation happens only once, or twice, over several years? I'm not saying that they will, but I'm saying that they will not automatically reject the proposal based only on infrequency, but will consider other factors that may lead them to reject such a rule change.

If the NF decides to have a rules change, I will worry about it at that time. Right now, there is no such rule or procedure in any way. And again you keep posting as if you need my agreement to move on.
Peace
