Our job is to ensure the rules are followed, and I'm sure your partner was fixated on the fact that the rules don't allow for what you did.

But the rules are there for a purpose, and your situation provided an advantage not intended by those rules. Good job.

Multiple court sites are probably one of the best examples of a good use of The God Rule (2-3).
