Yet you withheld information that would very likely have led to an answer that would contradict your opinion. Very clever of you to bank on the fact that others in your area also unaware of the official FED ruling so that you can get someone to agree with you.

Even if the ruling I was given is totally wrong, I did more than most did here. At least I asked my interpreter (and the head rules interpreter at that) for his position on a rule.

No, you did less. You presented a question without all the known facts with the motive of extracting an answer to your liking. You got an opinion, not a definitive ruling. You knew about the FED ruling and didn't ask him if that was still current...the legit thing to do if you really wanted to find out the real answer.

Yet you did exactly what you didn't want. You got a personal opinion if you knew about details that the other person may have not had available to him. Give him the entire picutre if you're not too afraid to be wrong.
