We can debate whether it screwed up the BC Rule (I am inclined to agree with Bill), but why would it makes things "worse, especially for newer officials". If one knows his/her definitions then this play is not a problem. Remember, newer officials did not officiate under the old definition for decades and decades like some of us bald old geezers, and we bald old geezers adapted to the change just fine.
