We're assuming the case and ruling are being reported correctly. Might not be so.

I doubt very much that anyone at the IAABO national level ever issued anything like that. I know a lot of those guys. I also know quite a few local board interpreters. The great majority are very rules knowledgable imo.

Exactly. And, I've certainly been involved when the "ruling" comes in a large meeting where the original situation mutates somewhat and someone on one seide of the room gets a ruling to the mutation that someone on the other side applies to the original question, and now there's confusion.

That ruling surprises me a bit, too, but that's what I was told. Do with it what you wish, gentlemen.

Already have, bainsey. The ruling is wrong and that's been pointed out to any readers of this site(most of whom knew that anyway before reading it here).

So your board bases its rulings off hearsay, not written guidance?
