Hopefully, it will mean something to the thousands of coaches and administrators that also get a softball rulebook, and are required to attend rules clinics in their areas.

We have to remember that NFHS administers to the member associations, that administer to their member schools. As umpires/officials, we are not the only intended recipients of their rulebooks (even if we are the only ones that actually read them).
