If Baker has been called out for using an illegal bat, it's too late to do anything regarding Able.

Changing it from POE to supplement was for what exactly?
A "supplement" can be part of a whole. With the POE, many just cited that as interpretation or guidelines, not necessarily part of the rules.

I would think that by referring to these as "supplements", RSs become part of the rule for the purpose of application and protests.

Just an thought.

That is a very interesting (and true) thought on it. It most definitely makes it seem more "rulish".

So, can I now be assured, then, that the ASA editorial board has removed every case of contradiction / out-of-date wording from the POE's (sorry, Rules Supplements)?

Yah, shur, youbetcha.

They agree quite often, actually ... just not usually on a post initiated by Wade. But on posts initiated by the general populus, you can generally count on both of them to be in agreement (and correct as well).
