Where did I say anything about "bang on in the post?" I said that the rules in many parts of any sport allow for things in one aspect of the rules and not the same thing in another part.

Just read the hand checking rule (which only involves the ball). Then when you look at the screening rule, time and distance is a factor in whether contact is a foul or not a foul. Then look at LGP rules where there is no time and distance to be able to draw PC foul. Also the way to draw a foul on a PC foul is very different than what requires drawing a foul on a screen.

I agree that perception can be reality to some people. That does not mean it is reality. I can perceive UFOs exist; it does not make it true.
