Tim.
There's nothing magical about positioning with such inflexible precision. One or two steps either way is not going to have any significant impact on BU's responsibilities. It's an easy courtesy to extend and is just one more example of knowing which end of the stick to pick up. And it surprises me that an entire association thinks it's a big enough issue to actually provide "training" that addresses it.
