Every wording of a rule has a reason or "spirit" in which it was created. You obviously cannot have one without the other. That is why when a rule is added, the wording often has to be changed to not cause certain confusion. The NF is good for taking 2 or 3 years to get a rule right when they add a rule and this is why.

Peace
