What are you going to do, go back to the point of the protest and resume play from there with....hmmm....which ball do we use now....?
It's ridiculous to keep the playing field level? It's ridiculous to keep the game moving? It's ridiculous to insure the ball entering the field is legal and undamaged?

I have never had a problem with it and it doesn't become a problem because I do strictly adhere to it. And the teams expect it especially when they intentionally get rid of a ball because they do not like it. And there is nothing to protest, as you said, it isn't a rule, just a Rule Supplement. You may get a nice talking to by the UIC, but that's about it.
