This is a great example why Rule 2 is so important to all of the other rules. Possession, on the football field, means exactly what it says it means in Rule 2, nothing more, nothing less. That applies to many other words, some of which are very common and can mean different things to different people.

None of that matters, besides what Rule 2 says something means, exactly.
